Where candidate experience starts

Candidate experience starts long before the interview. 🧐
It starts the moment someone sees your job ad and decides whether applying is worth their time.
A complicated application, too many unnecessary questions, or silence after submitting can shape how candidates see your company before they ever speak to a recruiter.
Because candidate experience isn’t just about communication. It’s also about how easy it is to enter your hiring process.
Make the first step simple. Make expectations clear. Keep candidates informed.
