Sterling Supports 2016 Candidate Experience Awards
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – August 23, 2016 – Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the promotion and data benchmark research of a quality candidate experience, today announced that Sterling, one of the world’s largest background screening and on-boarding solutions providers, is a Global Platinum Sponsor of the 2016 Candidate Experience (CandE) Awards.
“Faced with growing talent gaps and skills shortages, companies around the world recognize the need to enhance their candidate experience to better engage talent from the beginning,” said Gerry Crispin, Talent Board co-founder and CareerXroads principal and co-founder. “Through its advanced background screening and on-boarding solutions, Sterling helps companies improve a crucial step of the hiring process, helping them make informed decisions about their talent faster and, thus, elevating the candidate experience. We are pleased to work with Sterling to recognize additional tools and strategies that can further enhance how employers attract and engage talent, and hire the best candidates much more quickly.”
For six years, Talent Board has recognized and celebrated candidate experience excellence through its annual CandE Awards program, while providing all participating companies and the employer community as a whole with key insights to improve the candidate experience. Faced with growing interest around the world, Talent Board expanded the CandE Awards beyond the original North American program to include additional programs in the EMEA and APAC regions. As a Global Platinum sponsor, Sterling plays a key role in supporting all three programs, helping Talent Board raise awareness of the need for an enhanced candidate experience and celebrate the companies that get it right.
“Sterling and Talent Board share a common goal of helping employers around the world improve their recruiting, hiring and onboarding processes,” said Julia Mair, chief marketing officer of Sterling. “To that end, we are thrilled to support the global CandE Award programs and help employers around the world understand what it takes to deliver an exemplary candidate experience.”
The CandE Awards programs continue to grow each year, with the 2015 programs attracting more than 200 participating companies and garnering feedback from over 130,000 of their actual job candidates. The 2016 CandE Awards programs promise to be even bigger, as more organizations seek to benchmark their current candidate experience practices and learn how they can be improved.
