2020 CandE Awards Virtual Conference – Elevate & Celebrate
We are excited to host our 2020 CandE Awards Conference – now virtual. Great speakers, sessions, and of course celebrating the 61 Global 2020 CandE Award winners, just announced! Learn more below.
2020 has been a tough year for many of us. And yet, throughout this pandemic, the economic hits, the layoffs and furloughs, distance learning for our kids, the social and racial inequity injustice, fires and hurricanes, many of us in recruiting and hiring have helped and elevated each other — recruiters, hiring managers, employees and job candidates alike. We are also raffling off 5 AirPod Pro’s to those attending and listening to these best practices and more at #TheCandEs!
Join us November 18-19 for the 2020 CandE Awards Virtual Conference — our 10th anniversary — where we’ll elevate and celebrate the empathic best we’ve worked hard to be, some pretty amazing speakers and sessions, and the companies around the world who have again raised the bar on improving the candidate experience. There will be 61 companies recognized at the event as the 2020 Global Candidate Experience Award winners – check out the list of winners here. The event is taking place on the Whova event app, where you can plan your schedule, see the full agenda, network and so much more. Plus, get 3 SHRM & HRCI Credits for attending each day.
Registration is free and donations are welcome. In fact, any donation of $50 or more will get you a commemorative 2020 CandE Awards medal (like we give away at the in-person CandEs)! Talent Board is the first nonprofit research organization focused on improving recruiting, hiring and the candidate experience. Donations go a long way to help us continue our mission!
