Focusing on the Candidate Experience in Today's Job Market

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Interview Series, I'm joined by Benoit Hardy-Vallee, AVP, Talent Experience Strategy at Phenom and his colleague Ajay Patel, Vice President, Global Head of Join at Straumann Group for a conversation about the importance of focusing on the candidate experience as well as employee experience in today's job market.

We are seeing people leave jobs in droves, millions still looking for work, and employers reporting acute labor shortages. Coupled with changes in how and where people work, this is all adding up to be a job market like we've never seen before. So where do employers go from here? Is there a secret recipe they need to follow to fill their open roles and retain employees?

That's exactly what we explored in this conversation. Together, with my extremely knowledgeable guests, we dove into the world of talent experience management and the new approaches businesses can take to make sure candidates find the right jobs, employees are able to grow in their current positions, recruiters are productive, and management meets their goals.
