Survale, the leading provider of talent feedback and experience management solutions, in partnership with the CandE Benchmark Research and Award Program, has announced an intensive hands-on workshop titled “Recruiting, Hiring and the Candidate Journey: Unlock Hiring Secrets in Philadelphia!” The session, sponsored by Match2, is designed for HR directors, talent acquisition leaders, employer branding professionals, and recruiters seeking to move beyond simple metrics and drive real operational change in their hiring processes.
According to Survale’s data, 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.
“We are thrilled to bring this level of actionable intelligence to the Philadelphia region,” said Kevin Grossman, VP of CandE Benchmark Research at Survale. “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 on what constitutes an exceptional candidate experience, interactive exercises to pinpoint friction within participants’ current 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 on March 9, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, the day before Survale is set to sponsor Phenom’s IAMPHENOM Conference. This scheduling makes it easy for conference attendees to participate in the workshop as well. 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.
