DELAFIELD, Wis. (Sept. 18, 2012) – Montage Talent, the leading provider of video interviewing solutions, today announced its sponsorship of the Candidate Experience Awards (CandEs). In the awards’ second year, Montage is providing support for the Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience.
“With competition for top talent so fierce, it is more vital than ever for companies to provide the most engaging and authentic candidate experience. We are excited to partner with the Talent Board and support their efforts to advance industry best practices in this area,” said Kurt Heikkinen, Montage President and CEO. “As a leading innovator of video interviewing solutions, we remain committed to providing our clients with the best experience for connecting with the top talent they pursue.”
The Candidate Experience Awards consist of three survey rounds that are designed to evaluate and recognize organizations that produce outstanding candidate experiences. Round one is comprised of a multi-dimensional survey designed to capture and evaluate the nominated company’s recruitment processes and practices impacting the candidate experience.
Companies that complete the first round submission process will receive an Employer Benchmark Report. Those that meet the standard for candidate experience will be invited to participate in round two of the competition, which involves surveying a random sampling of the company’s 2012 candidates. Companies that meet criteria for both rounds one and two will be awarded a “CandE Award Winner” designation stamp. High scoring companies will be advanced to the final round, where they will be interviewed by the CandE judging panel to determine areas of distinction. North American “With Distinction” honorees will be celebrated, along with all CandE winners, at the 2012 HR Technology Conference in Chicago. U.K. based winners will be honored at a special Candidate Experience Awards ceremony later this year.
“Montage is focused on improving communication between employers and jobseekers and that is exactly what we’re promoting with the Candidate Experience Awards,” said Ed Newman, Talent Board member and Vice President of Strategy at iMomentous. “As a company who initiates innovative practices and inspires others to bridge the gaps and improve processes for the job seeker, Montage is a perfect partner for us. We’re very happy to have Montage as a sponsor.”
