BROOKFIELD, WI (October 31, 2022) – Thre
e clients of Cielo, the world’s leading Talent Acquisition Partner, are 2022 North American Candidate Experience (CandE) Award winners. Recognized by candidates for delivering amazing experiences, these organizations and Cielo are dedicated to creating candidate-centric hiring processes that secure top talent.
The CandE-winning Cielo clients are:
- Froedtert Health
- Messer
- Walgreens
“Candidate experience has never been more important. And our three partners shine a light on how to do it right,” says Marissa Geist, CEO at Cielo. “Despite the softening market, the talent market remains competitive. Companies must stand out as a place where values, mission and the individual can find priority and focus. With the optimal combination of people, process and technology, our partners create an unforgettable experience, so every candidate feels valued during every interaction – whether they get the job or not.”
Over the past five years, Cielo clients have won 22 awards in North America. This marks the third win for both Messer and Walgreens.
“People are more than just candidates. Creating a positive, engaging experience determines whether someone is your company’s advocate or critic. It’s an honor to partner with our clients to make sure all job seekers better understand roles and company culture – and, most importantly, that everyone leaves feeling like they were seen as human beings, not just another recruitment step,” says Greg Summers, Chief Customer Officer at Cielo.
The Talent Board surveys both the employer and candidates to evaluate a company’s candidate experience. This year, nearly 200,000 candidates gave their perspective on whether they’d refer other job seekers to the organization, if they’d reapply for future openings, and how their experience as a candidate would impact their customer relationship with the company moving forward.
