Luckily, measuring and working with this data is easy when it's automatic and directly integrated into the ATS. In this article, you'll:

• learn about the importance of the Hiring Manager and Recruiter relationship
• access survey question examples from our Hiring Manager Satisfaction module
• see how you can easily dissect and analyze the data you collect

Collecting candidate feedback is one thing, but acting on it is another.

Watch our recent webinar with HelloFresh where Greta Dubauskaite, Head of Global Talent Operations, and Kalina Tracheva, Candidate Experience Lead, share real-life examples on how they:

• Use candidate insights to implement operational changes
• Boost team performance with data-driven training
• Establish a streamlined candidate journey and have a top pick of quality candidates

Taboola powers recommendations for the open web, helping people discover things they may like. With employees in 22 offices around the world and 100 open positions available today, it's in Taboola's best interest to get their Candidate Experience right.

To do so, they're taking transparency to the next level by inviting their Director of Global Talent Acquisition and Learning Development, Brett Underhill, to disclose the initiatives they have put in place to show their candidates they care.

They include:

• Continuous collaboration with the Employer Brand team to make sure their company culture is being showcased authentically
• Service-level agreements around candidate communication to ensure transparent and timely feedback
• Personalized coaching conversations to turn rejections into a revolving door
• Streamlined interview processes that don't exceed 30 days to prevent candidates from feeling ghosted or overlooked

Learn more about Taboola's efforts in Candidate Experience and how they begin to leverage AI in their recruitment process in the full article here.

We recently shared a survey for Candidate Whisperer subscribers to let us know what they want and expect to read in the newsletter to maximize value. Now that we're bringing it to LinkedIn, we'd love for you to also share your thoughts with us.
