Survale, a talent feedback and analytics platform, will exhibit at the 2026 HR Technology Conference & Exposition, October 20-22 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. At Booth 3810, the company will showcase three major announcements that collectively position talent experience data as a foundational layer for AI-driven HR and analytics ecosystems. The centerpiece is new infrastructure that, for the first time, makes Survale's talent experience data available to AI agents and enterprise analytics platforms, a move that could reshape how organizations integrate human insights into automated decision-making.
The introduction of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and Analytics API addresses a critical gap: as companies deploy AI agents across HR and talent acquisition, those agents require accessible, real-time data to function effectively. Survale's MCP server allows client AI agents to securely retrieve live metrics and trends, enabling automated executive briefings, recruiting operations workflows, and AI-generated reporting. Simultaneously, the Analytics API pulls talent experience data into popular BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and people analytics platforms like Visier, Splash BI, and Crunchr. This means organizations can now incorporate candidate and hiring manager sentiment directly into their broader analytics strategies, breaking down silos between experience data and operational metrics. At launch, metrics include Overall Candidate NPS, Hiring Manager Satisfaction, Completion %, and trend data, all filterable by location, recruiter, job family, source, and more.
SurvaleAI has also received a significant upgrade, now employing a team of expert agents to analyze full datasets, from statistical data to free-form comments. This agentic approach transforms SurvaleAI into an always-available talent experience analyst, capable of answering questions and surfacing insights tied to operational data. Users can save and share prompts, activate the analyst from any dashboard via a new Prompt Widget, and receive context-sensitive suggestions for improvement. The implication is clear: HR teams can move from reactive reporting to proactive, AI-assisted decision-making without needing specialized data science expertise.
In addition, Survale has launched the Hiring Manager Candidate Experience Certification, the industry's first research-backed program built on 15 years of CandE Benchmark Research covering over 2 million candidates across 2,000+ employers. The certification includes five 10-minute modules and practical tools like the Panel Role-Assigner Matrix and 15-Minute Scorecard Method. Crucially, certified managers gain access to live candidate sentiment from the Survale platform, creating a closed feedback loop that drives continuous improvement. This program directly addresses a common pain point: hiring managers often lack structured training on candidate experience, which can undermine even the best recruiting efforts. By certifying managers, Survale aims to transform behavior at the point of hire, potentially reducing candidate drop-off and improving quality of hire.
Survale also announced the winners of the 2026 CandE Benchmark Research Program awards, recognizing employers with the highest-rated candidate experiences based on direct candidate feedback. The full list is available at https://survale.com/cande-award-winners/, and registration for the 2027 program is now open. For organizations seeking to benchmark their candidate experience against industry leaders, this program offers a data-driven path to improvement.
Jason Moreau, CEO of Survale, noted that the theme of this year's show is moving from change to transformation. He emphasized that AI agents and analytics platforms are transforming talent decisions but have been "flying blind on the human side of hiring." With the MCP server and API, Survale becomes the experience data layer for that stack, while the certification program closes the loop by transforming hiring manager behavior. For HR leaders, these announcements signal a future where talent experience data is not just measured but actively integrated into AI and analytics workflows, enabling smarter, more human-centric decisions.
