At the 2026 HR Technology Conference & Exposition, October 20-22 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Survale will announce three major developments that could reshape how organizations use talent experience data. The company, known for its talent feedback and analytics platform, will exhibit at Booth 3810, headlined by new infrastructure that makes talent experience data available to AI agents and enterprise analytics platforms for the first time.
As organizations deploy AI agents across HR and talent acquisition, those agents are only as smart as the data they can reach. Survale's new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and Analytics API aim to make Survale the experience data layer for the AI-powered talent stack. The MCP server lets client AI agents securely retrieve live Survale metrics and trends within any agentic process or output, enabling automated executive briefings, recruiting ops workflows, and AI-generated reporting. The Analytics API automatically pulls Survale talent experience data into business intelligence solutions such as Power BI, Tableau, or dedicated people analytics platforms like Visier, Splash BI, or Crunchr. Data can be accessed as fully rendered dashboard widgets or raw data behind them. Metrics include Overall Candidate NPS, Hiring Manager Satisfaction, Completion %, and trend data for each, with every operational filter attached, including location, recruiter, job family, source, and more.
Survale's native AI has also received a significant upgrade, now utilizing a team of expert agents to analyze the full data set, from statistical data to free-form comments. New SurvaleAI can analyze dashboard, survey, and comment data and instantly surface insights with a simple question, save and share important prompts between users, activate a built-in analyst from any dashboard with a new Prompt Widget, and get context-sensitive suggestions for steps to take in reducing problems and leveraging successes.
In addition, Survale is launching the industry's first research-backed program for certifying hiring managers on candidate experience, built on 15 years of CandE Benchmark Research spanning 2 million candidates across 2,000 employers. The program includes five 10-minute modules covering interviewer mindset, pre-interview alignment, structured interviewing, post-interview execution, and feedback optimization. It offers practical tools such as the Panel Role-Assigner Matrix, 15-Minute Scorecard Method, and Disposition Script Bank. Certified managers see their own live candidate sentiment from the Survale platform and improve with every search. The program is enterprise-ready, delivered via white-label branded portal or SCORM-compliant modules in any LMS.
Survale has also announced the winners of the 2026 CandE Benchmark Research Program awards, recognizing employers that delivered the year's highest-rated candidate experiences based directly on candidate feedback. The full list of 2026 winners is available at https://survale.com/cande-award-winners/. Registration for the 2027 CandE program is now open, and companies interested in benchmarking their candidate experience against the industry's leading research dataset are encouraged to participate.
"The theme of this year's show is moving from change to transformation, and that's exactly what these announcements deliver," said Jason Moreau, CEO of Survale. "AI agents and analytics platforms are transforming how talent decisions get made, but they've been flying blind on the human side of hiring. With our MCP server and API, Survale becomes the experience data layer for that entire stack—and with our new certification program, we're closing the loop by transforming hiring manager behavior itself. We can't wait to show it all at Booth 3810."
These announcements matter because they address a critical gap in the AI-driven talent stack: the lack of human experience data. By making talent experience metrics available to AI agents and BI tools, Survale enables organizations to make more informed decisions that combine operational efficiency with candidate and hiring manager sentiment. The hiring manager certification program further embeds candidate experience into daily practice, potentially improving hiring outcomes and employer brand. For more information, visit survale.com.
