What Engagement
can Inspire

The company took it upon themselves to
engage them, building a thriving
community of people who act as the
brand’s ambassadors.
Harley Davidson remains the most
requested logo for tattoos.

The New Age Candidate Experience Model
The New Age Candidate Experience Model
Which tech company has the
best new hire onboarding
program, and why?
★ My first code checkin, production push and outage handling was in the first week of
joining.
★ An orientation program to explain the Netflix technology stack and getting to know my
ever-helpful coworkers made being a software developer super easy and exciting.
★ An orientation program with all the executive management including CPO, CFO and CEO
in the first quarter helped to orient me with the company's ethos and aspirations.
★ CEO Reed Hastings also meets with new hires within the first quarter of joining in a
small informal group setting to get to know each other.
★ New hires are given significant responsibility and can have a solid impact from the get-
go. My first product was Netflix on AppleTV. 4-months after joining, I saw my work being
used by tons of Netflix customers.
This is an Answer published on Quora by a Candidate
★ I was given the offer letter at the end of my second round interview. Which means
by the second round, everyone involved discussed on Yes/No, compensations and
printed the letter.
★ My laptop choice and configuration was asked of me on the phone (before joining)
and was ready on my desk the day I arrived.
★ I requested a desktop workstation server over a self-serve portal. The next morning
a brand new ThinkStation was humming under my desk with a note from the IT
team that said "We assumed you wanted the latest Ubuntu. Please advise if not".
No BS approval process!
★ A dedicated mentor was assigned to help me bootstrap for the first couple of days.

People don’t remember what you
said. They don’t remember what
you did. They remember how you
made them feel.

When Candidate Engagement & Employee Delight join forces
We see our customers as invited guests
to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our
job everyday to make every important
aspect of the customer experience a
little bit better.

Candidate Experience: The Next
Competitive Battleground in Recruiting Kevin Freitas
Director – HR, InMobi
Challenging conventional wisdom
Conventional wisdom Unconventional reality
✓ Delight your candidate
✓ Go, above and beyond
✓ An experience that does not delight
the candidate is a sub par experience
✓ Delighting candidates is the best way
to build loyalty (offer accept)
✓ Candidates punish companies that don’t meet
their basic expectations with harsher
intensity than they reward companies that
delight them
✓ The biggest payoff is therefore in consistently
meeting basic expectations rather than
delighting every candidate*
✓ Delighting candidates does not build loyalty as
much as meeting basic expectations
consistently.
*Source: Stop Trying to Delight Your Customers by Matthew Dixon, Karen Freeman, Nicholas Toman, FROM THE JULY–AUGUST 2010 ISSUE
Company Vs. Candidate Expectations
Candidate Expectations Company Expectations
Is the salary competitive?
What is the job profile like?
What is it like working here?
Is this a good career move for me?
Am I a fit for the role and the company?
Who are the people I will work with
here?
Is this person a culture fit for us?
Are we raising the bar of the team?
Is this the best person we can find for the job?
Will the person really be with us for long term?
What is the potential of growth for this person?
Are we hiring the person who can perform the job
Value Exchange
What do we need to do to provide this value exchange quickly and easily.
‘Making it easy’ is a solid foundation for action at InMobi.
Candidate Expectation Surplus or Candidate Experience (CX)
Candidate expectation surplus is the difference between the
effort that candidates are willing and able to make to go through the
company’s hiring process (clarity of role / compensation / title,
application process, interview process, access to prospective manager,
social proof) and the actual effort involved.

Candidate Experience Stories
The team was very helpful with flexible interview timings, interview format and filtering
criteria. I always felt interviews need to filter out candidates based on the problem
solving and coding abilities than their previous experience on the language's they
know. This is exactly what InMobi did as well. HR was in continuous touch with me until
the whole interview process was completed. I got a clear picture of the work, the
culture and the team. This in fact inspired me a lot to join InMobi.
Kishore
Senior Software Engineer
The speed of the hiring process at InMobi has been commendable. The recruiters had
me informed on the status of my interview throughout, which made me feel connected.
The orientation and the induction program was very informative, and helpful. The
admin and the IT has to be mentioned for having my joining kit ready, I did not have to
wait for my laptop or my desk.
Sanjay
Senior SDET
I liked the joining mail which so clear and descriptive. It even had details about the
vehicle parking which i have never seen in any companies joining mail. I really
loved all the processes and communications done. It was a very great and unique
experience. I have not seen so quick and clear response from hiring team. Thanks
for all your supportRishi
