website: www.thetalentboard.org

The CandE Awards are comprised of three (3) rounds of evaluations. Round 1 and Round 2 are required in order to be considered for the 2017 award.

Round 1 - Basic Questions and Employer Survey

Within 24 hours of completing your registration, you will be sent your unique employer link which is the first of three data collection stages and the most critical part of your application.

The Employer Survey asks you to provide information about how you treat candidates in each segment of the hiring process: Candidate Attraction, Application Management, Candidate Selection and Disposition; Finalist Management and New Hire Onboarding.

Upon completion of the Employer Survey, you will receive confirmation of submission, and we will contact you regarding the requirements necessary to proceed to Round 2. If you choose not to proceed to Round 2, your company information will remain confidential.

Round 2 - Candidate Survey

Talent Board will provide you a unique link for you to forward to your candidates directly in order to obtain their experience with your organisation. We will provide additional details on options for inviting and engaging your candidates in the survey process. You will invite your candidates to respond to the Candidate Survey, and we will collect their results.

If you cannot confirm participation in both Round 1 and 2, you are encouraged to complete Round 1 of the survey. This will allow you to receive complimentary access to benchmark data focused on your responses against the aggregated total of the winners. You will not be eligible for the award and your company identity will remain completely anonymous.

If your company completes Round 1 and your candidates confirm that your practices are above average in Round 2, you will be a recipient of 2017 Candidate Experience Award. We will announce the winners by name at the 3rd Annual Candidate Experience Awards Banquet. This "invitation only" evening reception will honour the winners' achievements and is open to all participants.
