Embrace the New Era of Recruiting
Join us at the CandE Awards
Each year the CandE Benchmark Research Program recognizes those participating employers with the highest candidate experience ratings with our coveted CandE Awards.
We will celebrate their achievements at the CandE Awards ceremony on November 13th at 6:00 PM. It’s a special time when we announce the CandE winners from around the world and honor them for raising the bar for candidate experience.
If you are dedicated to candidate experience, it's not too late to participate in the CandE Benchmark Research Program. The deadline to complete all steps and surveys in the program is August 31, but you can do it all in 2 weeks, and we provide you with everything you need to confidentiality and anonymously measure your process and see how you compare.
