SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 9, 2016) - Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the promotion and data benchmark research of a quality candidate experience, today announced that Lever, the recruiting software platform for more than 1,000 fast-growing companies around the world including Netflix, Lyft, Eventbrite, Quora and Shopify, is a Gold sponsor for the 2016 North American Candidate Experience (CandE) Awards.
"Each year, the Candidate Experience Awards recognizes the companies that display excellence in candidate experience, by way of delivering a positive, transparent and insightful recruiting process to all applicants," said Ed Newman, Talent Board co-founder and vice president at Phenom People. "To make this possible, we rely on the support of organizations that share our mission to elevate the candidate experience and its role in helping companies to attract, engage and retain top talent. We are grateful to Lever for supporting this objective and working with us to recognize candidate experience excellence."
Now in its sixth year, The CandE Awards is open to any organization interested in enhancing the candidate experience they provide, through an in-depth evaluation of their current process and surveys of their actual job candidates. More than a competition, the program aims to benchmark candidate experience best practices, enabling participants to see how their recruiting strategies measure up against their peers and learn what they can do to continually improve. The program continues to grow each year, with a record number of participating companies and candidates in 2016 eager to share their experiences from pre-application to onboarding.
"At a time when hiring has never been more competitive and candidates are more informed than ever, a strong candidate experience is essential to an effective recruiting process," said Leela Srinivasan, chief marketing officer of Lever. "As we fully understand the challenges companies face in building high-performing teams, Lever's talent acquisition suite helps companies develop meaningful candidate relationships that lead to their next great hires. We are thrilled to support the Candidate Experience Awards and help even more companies understand what it takes to provide an exceptional candidate experience."
The deadline for participating in the 2016 North American CandE Awards program has now passed. The winners will be celebrated at an awards gala taking place on November 15, 2016 during the Recruiting Trends Conference at the Hilton Austin.
