Survale and the CandE Benchmark Research Program have announced the 66 companies from around the world that will receive the 2025 Global Candidate Experience Awards. This year's program saw 110 companies participating globally, collecting feedback from over 66,000 job candidates through comprehensive satisfaction surveys.

The awards program, now in its 14th year and part of Survale, represents the largest study of its kind, having evaluated responses from over 2,000 global employers and nearly 1.9 million job seekers since 2011. Winners were determined through rigorous data analysis based on four key rating questions that significantly impacted the final CandE Score for each organization.

The evaluation criteria included candidates' overall ranking of their experience, their willingness to reapply to the organization, their likelihood to refer other job seekers, and how they would change their business relationship status based on their recruitment experience. This comprehensive approach ensures that winning companies demonstrated exceptional candidate treatment throughout the hiring process.

This year's awards recognize 76 achievements across 66 organizations, with 58 North American winners, 9 EMEA winners, 6 APAC winners, and 3 Latin American winners. The complete listing of 2025 CandE Winners by final ranking is available on the Survale CandE Winner page.

Kevin Grossman, VP of Benchmark Research at Survale, emphasized the business significance of candidate experience, stating: "When the economy is uncertain, candidates remember how you made them feel. Improving the experience isn't just the right thing to do — it's a long-term investment in relationships and the ultimate impact on businesses." He noted that transparency, consistent communication, and feedback loops throughout the recruitment process serve as critical differentiators that can lead to positive business outcomes.

The winning companies represent diverse industries including healthcare, insurance, technology, manufacturing, and education. Notable winners include Ford Motor Company, CVS Health, MetLife, Prudential Financial, Schneider Electric, and U.S. Bank, among others. Schneider Electric emerged as the only company to receive awards across all four global regions.

The CandE Benchmark Research Program, which can be explored further at https://survale.com/candes/, continues its mission of helping companies focus on candidate experience and the business value it brings to organizations. Winning companies are also participating in case study research that will contribute to industry reports and consideration for Most Innovative Candidate Experience Improvement Awards, to be presented at the virtual CandE Awards ceremony on October 30, 2025.

The recognition of these 66 companies underscores the growing importance of candidate experience as a strategic business imperative. In competitive job markets, positive recruitment experiences not only attract top talent but also strengthen brand reputation and customer relationships, as candidates often become customers or brand ambassadors regardless of hiring outcomes.
