SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Progress Residential, a leading provider of professional property management services for rental homes in the U.S., has been honored with a 2024 Global Candidate Experience (CandE) Award from The Talent Board for the fourth consecutive year. This award recognizes organizations that provide an outstanding experience to job candidates, reflecting Progress Residential's unwavering commitment to its core values of Be the Standard and Respect, Always.
The CandE Award celebrates the achievements of Progress Residential's recruiting team, whose dedication to fostering an inclusive and respectful candidate journey ensures prospective team members feel valued from their first interaction.
“Receiving this achievement for the fourth consecutive year further underscores our belief that the foundation of a great workplace begins with a positive and supportive recruitment experience,” said Progress Residential’s VP of Talent Trevor Gelder. “Our recruiting team’s hard work and dedication exemplify our mission to build stronger communities and relationships at every touchpoint.”
The CandE Benchmark Research and Awards Program, conducted by Talent Board, is the first of its kind to focus on the promotion and elevation of a quality candidate experience. To earn the award, employers pay to participate in a rigorous two-step process: a self-assessment survey followed by detailed feedback from job candidates. The final analysis includes four key questions that have a significant impact on determining the winners:
- Overall Rating: The overall candidate experience rating per those candidates surveyed
- Apply Again Rating: Whether or not the candidates would reapply to the organization
- Refer Others Rating: Whether or not the candidates would refer other job seekers to the organization
- Relationship Rating: Whether or not candidates would change their business relationship status with the organization going forward based on their experience
“After 13 years, the CandE Benchmark Research Program continues to prove that positive candidate experiences lead to positive hiring outcomes, which also often have positive business implications, especially during such volatile economic times,” said Ron Machamer, CandE Program Director at ERE Media. “This year’s CandE Awards winners have again demonstrated their commitment to making impactful process improvements and we are delighted to recognize their work in raising the bar in recruitment and candidate experience.”
