Candidate Experience Survey
Ask every candidate – hired or not – how your recruiting process treated them.
4 questions · 1 page · about 1 minute to answer · fully editable after you start
Every candidate talks, and rejected candidates talk the most. This survey goes to everyone who finishes your process, hired or not, and measures the things candidates judge you on: communication speed, interview respect and relevance, and whether the process reflected the job honestly.
A strong candidate experience score protects your employer brand and your future pipeline – people reapply, refer friends, and even become customers when a rejection is handled well. Watch the fairness score by interview stage to find the round that burns goodwill.
