How it works
Our Benchmarking Process
The Candidate Experience benchmarking process is simple and our CandE research team will guide you along the way.
After you register to participate, the program consists of two primary steps:
- Complete our employer self-assessment survey designed to capture and evaluate your recruitment processes and practices that impact the candidate experience.
- Distribute our candidate survey designed to capture your candid candidate experience feedback.
Employers will then receive full access to all their data and the aggregate anonymized data in each region where they participate via secure login access to our technology partner platform Survale Lite (Survale is an enterprise talent survey and analytics platform). You will receive your unique login information to access the data once we provide you with your candidate survey link(s).
The CandE research team will schedule regular check-in calls during the candidate experience feedback collection phase to review your data with you and answer your questions.
Once the final survey deadline passes, the CandE research team will finalize the annual benchmark ratings and schedule a formal data review session for you and your team. The session will include reviewing the strengths and weaknesses in your recruiting process and the candidate journey and much more.
