This special global report highlights what sets CandE Award winners apart –  The CandE Winners being those employers that participated in our annual research and have the highest candidate experience ratings overall.

CandE Winners consistently deliver a positive and fair candidate experience, something that’s not easy to sustain over time for the majority of companies that have participated in our research. And with candidate resentment higher than ever – the percentage of candidates who won’t engage a business or brand again due to a poor candidate experience – it’s been harder than ever to sustain. However, there are those employers doing it every year, some year after year, and that’s what this brief will explore further.

The following sections are part of this CandE Winner Executive Brief:

  • Perception Gaps
  • What’s Up With CandE NPS?
  • Contentment Is Down And Resentment Is Up
  • Global CandE Benchmark Key NPS Ratings
  • The CandE Score: Our Best Kept Stack Ranking Secret
  • What Sets the Top CandE Award Winners Apart

The CandE Benchmark Research Program has been focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience for over 13 years and delivers annual recruiting and hiring industry benchmark research. Over 2,000 companies big and small across industries have participated in our annual benchmark research surveying over 1.8 million candidates to date.
