Recorded LIVE @ ERE Recruitment Conference. Anaheim, CA November 2024

Kevin W. Grossman is the VP of Research at ERE Media, responsible for talent acquisition and candidate experience research. Formerly President of the Talent Board and the Candidate Experience Awards, the CandE Benchmark Research Program merged with ERE Media in 2023. The CandEs, as they’re known, were the first research organization to focus on elevating and promoting a quality candidate experience.

Kevin has over 25 years of domain expertise in the human resource and talent acquisition industry and related technology marketplace. He’s been a prolific industry writer since 2004. His first business book on career management, Tech Job Hunt Handbook, was released in December 2012 from Apress. His second book, Candidate Experience: How to Improve Talent Acquisition to Drive Business Performance, was co-authored with Adela Schoolderman, a long-time TA professional, and released in 2022 by Kogan Page.

In this conversation, Adam and Kevin focus on the importance of candidate experience in recruitment. They discuss the challenges candidates face, the impact of resentment on employer branding, and the significance of communication throughout the hiring process. The conversation also touches on the effects of the pandemic on candidate experiences and looks ahead to trends in recruitment for 2025.
