In the Heads of 300 Candidates

Today’s candidates are informed, selective, and quick to walk away from poor experiences. We surveyed 300 active job seekers to understand what actually matters to them: from application forms and interview timelines to culture, communication, and growth.

This report breaks down the moments that define candidate experience and shows where employers are still missing the mark.

This Candidate Report will:

  • Show you what candidates actually evaluate beyond salary

    Including growth opportunities, flexibility, and work-life balance, and how these factors influence both application rates and long-term retention.

  • Explain why speed and clarity in communication matter more than ever

    Understand candidate expectations around follow-ups, timelines, and transparency throughout the hiring process.

  • Candidate Experience Is Employer Branding

    How job descriptions, application flows, interviews, and follow-ups shape how your company is perceived before day one

So, what caught my eye recently?

✨ Teamtailor ✨

I would put them firmly in the need to have bucket. Why? Because their ATS makes recruiting AND employer branding actually fun!
