In today’s digital age, a poor candidate experience can be bad for business. According to the 2016 Talent Board candidate experience research:

• 66% of candidates will share negative recruiting experiences with their inner circle (friends, family, peers).
• 34% of candidates will share negative recruiting experiences online via social media.
• 41% of global candidates who believe they have had a “negative” overall 1-star job seeker experience (based on a 1-5 Likert Scale rating) say they will take their alliance, product purchases and relationship somewhere else.

All of this could lead to a damaged employment brand, a potential loss of significant revenue for consumer-based businesses and referral networks for all companies. This is why it pays dividends to have a positive candidate experience versus a negative one.

How do we know this? Talent Board’s Candidate Experience Awards Benchmark Program (The CandEs) have been surveying employers and candidates since 2011. In 2016 alone, over 220K candidates from over 400 companies globally responded to our CandE surveys, providing us the critical insight into the impact of the candidate experience and the business of recruiting. HR and talent acquisition teams today need this competitive insight and the skills to employ them to attract, engage and hire the right talent to grow their businesses.
