A positive jobseeker experience is an essential part of a successful hiring process, so we have a candidate experience team dedicated to supporting them on the Hired platform. This team is a personal knowledge resource as talent navigates the job search. Basically, they are a great partner for setting jobseekers up for success on the platform and finding an awesome opportunity.
Get to know the Candidate Experience TeamThe Candidate Experience (CX) Team currently consists of six members whose responsibilities include:
While the CX team is available to Hired jobseekers at any stage, we typically assign a dedicated CX team member after a jobseeker accepts their first IVR to ensure smooth sailing during the interview process.
CX helps bridge the gap between candidates and employers to create a streamlined process. For instance, if a candidate has not heard back from a company, CX can work with the organization’s account manager to get them back in touch with the candidate. The team advocates for transparency on both ends and encourages jobseekers to maintain clear communication with potential employers too.
If candidates receive an offer, CX checks in again to congratulate them of course, and see if they can provide further support. This could be advice for an offer negotiation or to act as a sounding board to weigh opportunities. From coaching to even some much-needed encouragement (the job search is tough!), CX is here for candidates.
Here to help every candidate have a great experienceFirst, the Candidate Experience Team is a resource for you. They’re here to help and they work hard behind the scenes too, constantly collaborating with every team across Hired to find ways to improve the candidate experience and help you land your dream job.

Speaking of Hired resources for candidates, we asked team members to share their favorite items to support jobseekers. Here’s what they recommend:
“My experience with Hired was great! I landed a job interview offer almost immediately and at the end of the day managed to land a new job via Hired! There was some great assistance in both the form of website popups as well as regular emails from the team. I would be happy to use Hired again if I need to change my job.”
