Survale, the leading provider of talent feedback and experience management solutions, announced an exclusive workshop titled “Recruiting, Hiring and the Candidate Journey: Unlock Hiring Secrets in Philadelphia!” in partnership with the CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program and sponsored by Match2. The event is scheduled for March 9, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown.
Designed for HR directors, talent acquisition leaders, employer branding professionals and recruiters, the workshop aims to help attendees move beyond simple metrics and drive operational change in hiring processes. According to Survale’s data, candidate experience is a critical factor for attracting and retaining top-tier talent, with companies that prioritize transparent and engaging journeys outperforming rivals by building stronger employer brands and reducing candidate resentment.
Kevin Grossman, Vice President of CandE Benchmark Research at Survale, emphasized the interactive nature of the session: “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.”
Workshop highlights include data-driven best practices from the latest CandE Benchmark Research, interactive exercises to pinpoint friction within hiring funnels, strategies for collecting and acting upon real-time candidate sentiment using the Survale platform, and strategic networking opportunities with fellow Philadelphia-area talent acquisition professionals. The workshop takes place the day before Survale sponsors 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 providing essential items to children in need. Spaces are strictly limited; interested professionals can secure their spot here.
