Why is the "candidate experience" so important?

There are many open jobs in the market, but not enough people to fill those positions.

Attracting the best hire for the organization is a challenging task for the recruiting manager. And during the hiring process, one thing they should never forget about great candidate experience.

So, what is candidate experience

Candidate experience can be defined as the perceptions created by a job seeker about your company during the hiring process.

Let’s find out why the candidate experience is so important?

A positive experience can help your company attract and find better talent, while poor candidate experience may harm your reputation.

TikTok – The Lockdown Craze That’s Here to Stay

A fear of missing out and endless opportunity within have allowed for TikTok to develop into one of the biggest global phenomena of the 21st century.

The primary purpose of the résumé is to get you the opportunity to interview for the job. Everything you do — and include — should focus on this goal.
