CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE
Companies are trying to take care of the
selection process so that the candidate
(millenials) considers his brand a good place
to work.
Companies search the engagement of the
candidate with the brand, and want the non-
selected candidates to be prescriptors.
Companies search a great difusión of their
processes through videos and social networks.
They treat the candidate as someone special.
