4 Questions Guaranteed to Transform Your Candidate Experience

Why Is Candidate Experience So Important?

We hope you’re already asking yourself that question, but if you aren’t, we’ll tell you why you should be. Consider this example:

Your company has 20 open positions to fill. For each of those positions, you may receive 50 applications, totaling 1,000 applications you must review and 900 rejections you must send out. After that, you have 100 people to interview for the 20 open positions, and another 80 rejections you must send out before the open posts are filled.

These might just look like numbers to you, but not to your candidates. Why does it matter if the people you reject had a good or a bad experience interviewing for your company? 64% of candidates will spend time researching a company before applying for the job, making online reviews and your company’s reputation extremely important.

Those 1,980 people that were rejected, they (and the friends they tell) might write negative reviews online. Too many bad reviews and your company’s reputation could take a serious hit.
