MILWAUKEE, WI – Three clients of Cielo, the leading global talent acquisition partner, are 2024 Candidate Experience (CandE) Award winners. These recognitions from candidates highlight the candidate-focused hiring processes used by the awarded companies to attract top talent.
The CandE-winning Cielo clients are:
“To earn top talent in today’s unpredictable market, it’s crucial that recruitment feels personal – and our clients deliver just that. Candidates want to feel valued, heard and understood throughout the process. A company culture of care and thoughtfulness is fundamental to attracting great people. It's an honor to partner with our clients to humanize hiring and provide brilliant hiring experiences by combining the best people, processes and technology,” says Cherice Schmidt, Executive Vice President – Client Services at Cielo.
This marks the fifth win for Messer and the second win for Societe Generale. Over the past seven years, Cielo clients have won 26 CandE Awards.
To find the winners, ERE Media surveyed employers and candidates about candidate experience, with strict qualification criteria to ensure accurate and statistically significant results. Over 230,000 candidates participated in the process this year to answer whether they’d recommend the organizations to other job seekers, if they’d apply again in the future, and how their candidate experience would determine their relationship with the organizations moving forward.
Hear from a few of our winners:
“Our partnership with Cielo and the seamless integration with our internal Messer team helps us attract the best talent and deliver outstanding experiences throughout the hiring process.”– Eric Nelson, Sr. Manager, HR Business Ops at Messer
“Candidate experience continues to be of utmost importance to Societe Generale, and we’re delighted that this has been recognized for a second year running. We regularly review the journey our candidates take to ensure it remains a smooth efficient and informative one with the goal to always achieve excellence and a positive impression of Societe Generale and Cielo.” – Emma Steck, UK Chief HR Officer at Societe Generale
The awards were presented November 13 at the 2024 CandE Awards gala.
About the awards
Each year the CandE Benchmark Research Program, part of ERE Media, recognizes participating employers with the highest candidate experience ratings by awarding them a CandE Award.
Winners are identified through a comprehensive data analysis based on their job candidates’ satisfaction survey scores. To qualify, employers must have an above-average CandE score, have received a minimum number of candidate responses, and have a ratio of mostly not hired candidates to hired candidates.
