Survale Acquires CandE Candidate Experience Research Program, Expands Industry Insights

Survale, a leading candidate experience management solutions provider, has acquired the CandE Candidate Experience Research and Awards Program from ERE Media, signaling a significant development in talent acquisition research and technology.

The acquisition, finalized earlier this month, includes all CandE program assets and sees Kevin Grossman, formerly of ERE Media, joining Survale as Vice President of CandE Benchmark Research. Survale, which has powered the CandE program's technology platform since 2017, will continue servicing current program participants and expand research capabilities.

The strategic move provides multiple benefits for talent acquisition professionals. CandE research demonstrates that organizations with high candidate satisfaction scores experience substantial positive outcomes, including 60% of candidates willing to reapply, 55% more likely to refer others, and 40% increased likelihood of becoming brand advocates.

Jason Moreau, Survale's CEO, emphasized the significance of the acquisition, noting it will enhance the company's benchmark data, provide access to a valuable talent acquisition leadership network, and incorporate critical industry expertise.

The integration promises a more streamlined research process with potential for advanced features and expanded program offerings. By consolidating the CandE program's extensive research with Survale's real-time feedback platform, organizations can proactively address candidate experience challenges, ultimately improving hiring outcomes and employer reputation.
