Insights for improving your candidate experience

Eploy FAQs

Candidate experience can be evaluated in many ways, for example, by analysing recruitment metrics, conducting surveys, and reviewing whether your recruitment process aligns with best practices. This approach helps identify areas for improvement and highlights elements of your recruitment process that may negatively impact the candidate experience.

Good candidate experience helps you become more attractive to high-quality candidates and enhances how the perception of your brand. Many people can feel discouraged to accept an offer, or will drop off during the application stage, if the process is not seamless or if they have heard negative things about the employer’s brand. 

Implementing an Applicant Tracking System can help you better engage with candidates throughout the recruitment process, provide a seamless and easy onboarding experience and help you review a high volume of applications in a timely manner. Utilising an ATS can also improve the diversity and inclusion practices in your recruitment process, through anonymising information that can create unintentional bias in the decision-making.
