Candidate experience is key

Did you know that 65% of candidates who turn down jobs or decline to go through the entire interview process do so because of poor candidate experience, according to LinkedIn? And that only 25% of candidates are satisfied with candidate experience according to Sapia.ai?

Candidate experience is key. But what is candidate experience exactly?

My definition is an experience where every interaction leaves the candidate feeling good about:

Themselves (first and foremost – even if they don’t get the job)

The process itself (again, even if they don’t get the job)

The company/brand (turn all candidates (successful or not) into raving fans

Ignite Global helps future-focused organizations build and retain the workforce they need to thrive in the Decade of Disruption. We will help you break through old-school paradigms to understand and embrace the Future (Now) of Work. In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help organizations keep the right bums in the right seats (recognizing that this starts with hiring the right people).
