Why Attend
Join us for our Candidate Experience Conference
More candidates means more applications – and more people to reject. Recruitment costs are increasing, but a candidate’s experience shouldn’t suffer as a result. We’ll give you the tools, insight, and strategy to make sure every candidate, successful or not, has a positive experience.
Our Candidate Experience Conference returns. Join us in this interactive conference and be inspired by our keynote speakers, case study presentations and panel discussions. The sessions are bound to leave you with a multitude of valuable insights and knowledge to drive your recruitment strategy forward.
TOPIC: Making Candidate Experience your Attraction Superpower
- How a great candidate experience can help you in a competitive market
- How to use technology to make candidate experience your superpower and use it to help you attract more candidates.
- What do candidates really want from your application process and how to give it to them without adding to your admin burden.
TOPIC: Nailing Best–Practice Candidate Experience
Every candidate who expresses an interest in your workplace, regardless of whether they move forward to be selected, are still considered customers, potential customers, or at the very least job influencers. How does your candidate experience stack up to deliver? Hear from Homeserve on:

- How to tailor the experience and enhance the candidate experience
- Candidate feedback, communication, expectations
- Ensuring a fair and transparent process

TOPIC: How To Showcase Company Culture And Win The War For Talent
In the three months to October 2021, the number of job vacancies in the UK reached a record high of 1.17 million, an increase of over half a million compared to 2020. The balance of power between employer and candidate shifted and with it came a step-change in expectations. In a candidate-first market, job seekers are looking for more than an attractive salary and benefits, they are seeking aligned values and a workplace culture that will enable them to thrive and feel supported.
- The latest research highlighting the need for a realistic preview of the workplace
- The importance of transparency during the recruitment process
- Creating the building blocks of the perfect candidate experience
- Case study insights on how to bring your company culture to life for candidates
TOPIC: Improving Quality of Hire by Changing your Approach to Candidate Experience
In this session we’ll surprise you, revealing your candidates’ true journey on their way to joining you. At a crucial time for hiring, the route and the touchpoints your candidates experience might not be the one you thought they did.
- Seeing the complete picture, or risk losing out on the best talent
- Real-life examples of where your candidates’ journey starts and finishes
- Why your targeted investment isn’t working
- Why 50% of candidates aren’t getting the most from their experience
TOPIC: The Value of a Personalised & Caring Experience for Every Hire
The health and social care sector in the UK is well-known for having high staff turnover, and a shortage of professionals in comparison with other sectors. To combat some of these challenges, the candidate journey has to be even more in tune with what candidates want, at every point in the hiring process.
This session will look at some of the steps Voyage Care has taken to provide a well-thought and caring experience to delight candidates at each stage of their journey.
