A positive candidate experience can make all the difference. But what exactly does that look like?

In this episode of the Searching Smarter podcast, we’re joined by Carrington Carter, a former client with extensive experience in human resources and talent acquisition leadership. From experience entry-level to executive recruitment, leading ground-breaking DEI initiatives, to overseeing mergers and acquisitions, and more - Carrington has a ton of insight to share.

We break down what it takes to create a standout candidate experience, why it’s crucial to keep top talent engaged, and how to avoid common pitfalls in the hiring process. We also dive into how to streamline the application process and make hiring faster while retaining the human touch.

Carrington shares his "3 Cs" of providing a positive candidate experience and we explore how AI can play a role in candidate experience.

If you’re a recruiter or hiring manager looking to improve your application process and make hiring faster, this is for you.
