The term "candidate experience" relates to an individual's entire view and journey through an organization's recruiting and selection processes. It includes all touchpoints and interactions that applicants have with the organization, from the first application to the final decision-making process. The candidate experience focuses on providing a good and engaging experience for job candidates, regardless of whether they are hired or not.
Example
A pleasant candidate experience occurs when a candidate applies for a job at a firm and receives a timely response to their application. The company keeps continuous communication with the candidate, informing them of the progress of their application and offering updates on the hiring process schedule.
