11/12/24

The candidate journey is the comprehensive process that a job seeker experiences from the initial awareness of a job opportunity to the final decision of accepting or declining a job offer. It begins with the candidate becoming aware of a job opening through various channels such as job boards, social media, or referrals. As they progress, candidates evaluate the opportunity and the company to determine alignment with their career goals and values. This journey includes expressing interest, submitting applications, and participating in interviews and assessments. Throughout these stages, the candidate's interactions with the company, including communication and feedback, shape their overall perception of the employer.
