Candidate Experience (CandE) Research Reports

This year 150 companies hiring around the world participated in the 2022 Talent Board candidate experience benchmark research program (also known as the CandEs), which ultimately collected the feedback and experiences of nearly 200,000 job candidates. The largest study of its kind, the Talent Board benchmark research has evaluated responses from over 1,350 of global employers and over 1.4 million job seekers since 2011. The 2022 reports will come out in early January 2023!

Talent Board’s benchmark research covers recruiting and hiring experiences from pre-application to onboarding, what makes for positive and fair candidate experiences, how employers are delivering those experiences, and what CandE award winners are doing better – companies that have the highest positive candidate ratings in the Talent Board research.
