Survale, a provider of talent feedback and experience management solutions, in partnership with the CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program, has announced an intensive workshop titled “Recruiting, Hiring and the Candidate Journey: Unlock Hiring Secrets in Philadelphia!” The event, sponsored by Match2, is scheduled for March 9, 2026, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Designed for HR directors, talent acquisition leaders, employer branding professionals, and recruiters, the workshop aims to move beyond simple metrics and drive operational change in hiring processes.
According to Survale, candidate experience is a critical factor for attracting and retaining top-tier talent in today’s dynamic job market. Companies that prioritize a transparent and engaging journey consistently outperform their rivals by building stronger employer brands and reducing candidate resentment. The workshop will provide insights from the latest CandE Benchmark Research, interactive exercises to identify friction points in hiring funnels, and strategies for collecting and acting on real-time candidate sentiment using the Survale platform. Attendees will also have opportunities to network with fellow talent acquisition professionals in the Philadelphia area.
Kevin Grossman, Vice President of CandE Benchmark Research at Survale, stated, “We are thrilled to bring this level of actionable intelligence to the Philadelphia region. This workshop isn’t just a passive seminar. It’s fun, interactive, and a deep dive into the latest benchmark research and real-world case studies that help organizations identify friction points and master the power of feedback to improve their ROI.”
The workshop takes place the day before Survale is set to sponsor Phenom’s IAMPHENOM Conference, making it convenient for conference attendees to participate. In a commitment to the local community, proceeds from the workshop will benefit the Philadelphia chapter of Cradles to Crayons, a charity focused on providing essential items to children in need. Registration is strictly limited to ensure an intimate learning environment. Interested professionals can secure their spot here.
Survale’s Talent Feedback Platform provides an “Always On” solution for gathering and analyzing experiential data from candidates, recruiters, and employees, helping leadership optimize people, processes, and technologies to deliver world-class talent experiences. The CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program is the industry’s longest-running research initiative dedicated to elevating the candidate experience, recognizing organizations that meet high standards of excellence in recruiting and hiring.
