5 Ways You Can Improve Candidate Experience

You post a job ad, receive applications from 100 people, but only have one role to fill. You have to shortlist the pool throughout the recruitment process and will need to say no to 99 (or worse, you ghost them…).

The result? One happy employee and 99 jaded job seekers running around the market, sharing their poor candidate experience. Not a good outcome.

Do you invest time and effort into creating a positive candidate experience (CX)?

The ramifications of poor CX can be devastating to a growing business.
