job candidates respond and react to all the engagements, assessments and interactions encountered during the hiring process. Looking at the candidate experience throughout the hiring journey is important because it can influence the candidate\u2019s commitment throughout the process, overall impressions of the company, likelihood of sharing feedback publicly, intent to accept a job offer and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-candidate-experience-and-engagement-important\">Why is candidate experience and engagement important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The candidate experience is important because it can have a direct influence on candidate attitudes, intentions and behaviours. While candidate experience is always important, it\u2019s even more critical when there is a high volume of job openings and a low volume of available candidates. A positive candidate experience can encourage more applicants to apply, persist through the entire selection process and ultimately accept a job offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide tal-image-icon-list is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained has-global-padding\" style=\"padding-top:4.5rem;padding-bottom:4.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-default is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-05b73d2b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained has-global-padding wp-container-core-column-is-layout-afa6cd6c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flex wp-block-group-is-layout-flex is-vertical wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f41a3fee\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xxl-font-size wp-elements-422ff9443722b78391aeef7a3934db33\" id=\"how-can-candidate-experience-and-engagement-be-improved\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);line-height:1.2\">How can candidate experience and engagement be improved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-s-font-size wp-elements-36604265eb63adda5a4bb84606f306dd wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">There are many ways that employers can <a href=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/en-gb\/blog\/design-a-positive-candidate-experience-to-support-your-recruitment-process\/\">improve the candidate experience<\/a> and engagement.

Candidate experience and engagement are even more important when the job market is tight, and employers are having to fight for viable candidates. A positive candidate experience can help companies retain candidates throughout the process and influence intentions to accept job offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-can-help-to-improve-the-candidate-experience\">Who can help to improve the candidate experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone involved in the hiring process can have a direct influence on the candidate experience. Each step along the way and every candidate communication presents the opportunity to provide a great candidate experience. For example, a recruiter can provide timely and clear feedback to the candidate about where they are in the process and what to expect next. A hiring manager can come prepared to the interview by reviewing the candidate materials and following the standardised interview guide. Even individuals with a seemingly minor role in the process can leave a lasting impression on the candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-there-ever-be-too-much-focus-on-the-candidate-experience\">Can there ever be too much focus on the candidate experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A challenge that companies may face is that, in an effort to have a great candidate experience, they can lose sight of the ultimate goal in the hiring process: to gather objective, job relevant and reliable data points to help inform an accurate view of the candidate\u2019s suitability for the role. For example, a company may focus on shortening the hiring process and assessments at a cost of not gathering all the accurate information needed. This could lead to inaccurate decisions about a candidate. Organisations need to find a balance between the candidate experience and measurement so that both parties come away from the process well informed and positive. It is important to focus on all aspects that could potentially impact the candidate experience, not just one, when making improvements to your process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-a-candidate\u2019s-age-matter-as-it-relates-to-experience-and-engagement\">Does a candidate\u2019s age matter as it relates to experience and engagement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, all generations value fairness and justice, which is key to a great candidate experience. However, our research shows that there may be some <a href=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/en-gb\/blog\/generational-differences-in-the-workplace\/\">generational differences<\/a> in how individuals may react to various elements of the assessment process. Compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/en-gb\/blog\/understanding-millennials-in-the-workplace\/\">Millennials<\/a> (born between 1981-1996), individuals in Generation Z (born in\/after 1997) place less value on engaging experiences, are less likely to be positively impacted by tests that include audio\/visual components, are more sceptical of game-based assessments and prefer shorter assessments (around 42 minutes compared to 49 minutes). These findings reinforce the notion that we should not sacrifice quality measurement for shiny new tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-ideal-time-duration-of-a-candidate-assessment\">What is the ideal time duration of a candidate assessment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hear from recruiters, talent acquisition and other stakeholders that assessments should be short. We agree \u2013 to increase the candidate experience, assessments need to be short. However, short does not need to be under 30 minutes. Our research polling candidates showed that the sweet spot for assessment length is between 30 to 50 minutes. Why? Candidates want the ability to demonstrate their skills and abilities. A 15-minute assessment may not provide candidates with sufficient opportunity to show the company their capabilities. Furthermore, our assessment completion data support this. Candidates are just as likely to complete a 60-minute assessment as they are a 20-minute assessment. As such, shorter is not always better to enhance the candidate experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/info.talogy.com\/en-gb\/nine-assessment-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download our ebook for nine assessment types to find the right candidate<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignfull text-content-wrapper is-style-section-default is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-style-default has-global-padding\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-500-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-28c8650c7220173063bd5cce85141939\" id=\"emerging-technology-and-the-candidate-experience\">Emerging technology and the candidate experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Candidates and HR: the connects, the disconnects, and what this means for organisations.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-700-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4da2865e8ad7a9e50c1c0e8757aadf8d wp-block-paragraph\">A critical area of interest for HR professionals and recruiters is the \u201ccandidate experience\u201d; defined as the collective result of engagements, assessments and interactions that organisations have with candidates during the hiring process.
