The goal of the CandE Awards is to recognize those companies that provide their job applicants with a transparent, positive and rewarding candidate experience. Although the CandE Awards program is a competition, it provides all participating companies with the opportunity to benchmark their own candidate experiences against those of their peers. As a result, employers can recognize innovation in their own practices while identifying areas for improvement. The winners of the 2014 CandE Awards will be announced at a special awards reception, taking place on Thursday, September 18, 2014 at the Hyatt McCormick Place in Chicago. They will continue to be celebrated at the first-ever Candidate Experience Symposium, also held at the Hyatt McCormick Place on Friday, September 19, 2014.
"The CandE Awards are designed to uncover innovation and best practices in candidate experience, as determined by feedback from our participating organizations' own candidates," said Elaine Orler, Talent Board co-founder and chairman, and CEO of Talent Function. "It is a great honor to work with these 17 companies, each of which delivers cutting-edge solutions that help employers improve the candidate experience they provide. By supporting this year's event, our 2014 silver sponsors demonstrate their commitment and a shared goal of advancing the importance of candidate experience in the recruitment process."
