Survale, a leading talent feedback and experience management provider, will host an exclusive workshop titled "Recruiting, Hiring and the Candidate Journey: Unlock Hiring Secrets in Philadelphia!" on March 9, 2026. The event, presented in partnership with the CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program and sponsored by Match2, targets HR directors, talent acquisition leaders, employer branding professionals, and recruiters seeking to transform their hiring processes through operational improvements rather than superficial metrics.
According to Survale's data, candidate experience has evolved from industry jargon to a decisive factor in attracting and retaining top talent. Companies that implement transparent and engaging hiring journeys consistently outperform competitors by strengthening their employer brands and minimizing candidate dissatisfaction. Kevin Grossman, VP of CandE Benchmark Research at Survale, emphasized the workshop's practical focus, stating it delivers "actionable intelligence" through interactive sessions based on latest benchmark research and real-world case studies.
The workshop will feature several key components: data-driven best practices from the latest CandE Benchmark Research defining exceptional candidate experiences; interactive exercises to identify friction points in existing hiring funnels; strategies for collecting and utilizing real-time candidate feedback via the Survale platform; and networking opportunities with Philadelphia-area talent acquisition professionals. The event occurs one day before Survale sponsors Phenom's IAMPHENOM Conference, allowing conference attendees convenient participation.
Professionals can secure their spot here for the workshop, which will be held at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Registration is limited to maintain an intimate learning environment. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Philadelphia chapter of Cradles to Crayons, a charity providing essential items to children in need.
This workshop addresses a growing business imperative as organizations face increasing competition for skilled workers. Poor candidate experiences can damage employer reputations and reduce quality applicant pools, while optimized hiring processes contribute directly to operational efficiency and competitive advantage. The CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program, the industry's longest-running research initiative focused on candidate experience elevation, provides the foundational data driving these workshop insights.
