Survale, in partnership with the CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program, announced an intensive workshop titled "Recruiting, Hiring and the Candidate Journey: Unlock Hiring Secrets in Philadelphia!" The session, sponsored by Match2, targets HR directors, talent acquisition leaders, employer branding professionals, and recruiters seeking to drive operational change in hiring processes. According to Survale's data, candidate experience has evolved from a buzzword to a critical factor for attracting and retaining top-tier talent, with companies prioritizing transparent and engaging journeys consistently outperforming rivals by building stronger employer brands and reducing candidate resentment.
Kevin Grossman, VP of CandE Benchmark Research at Survale, emphasized the workshop's practical nature, stating it offers actionable intelligence through interactive exercises and real-world case studies. Workshop highlights include data-driven best practices from the latest CandE Benchmark Research, gap identification exercises to pinpoint friction in hiring funnels, strategies for collecting and acting on real-time candidate sentiment using the Survale platform, and strategic networking opportunities with Philadelphia-area talent acquisition professionals. The event is scheduled for March 9, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, with limited registration available to ensure an intimate learning environment. Proceeds will benefit the Philadelphia chapter of Cradles to Crayons, a charity providing essential items to children in need. This workshop precedes Survale's sponsorship of Phenom's IAMPHENOM Conference, allowing conference attendees to participate easily.
