It’s hard to argue that the candidate experience is not an important area to focus on in your recruitment marketing strategy.  Common logic would dictate that if you improve your candidate experience that should result in an increase in your apply rates and overall recruiting ROI.  But the real question is how do you measure the impact of candidate experience?

Here is my opinion on what…

If you have been around the HR & Recruiting blogosphere long enough (or been to enough conference booths) you’ve probably heard about Talent Networks or Talent Communities.  Both were born out of the concept that every recruitment or sourcing campaign you run should not only be about finding applicants for a specific job but also be about building a collection of talent that you can engage with and leverage when recruiting for future positions.  And while both aim to achieve this same…
