In the simplest terms, career decisions ultimately boil down to: What’s in it for me?
The thing is, the answer to that question is far more complex than perks and paychecks. If you look at the nuances of individual experiences, how each person learns about and interacts with your brand before and after the hire, a much bigger picture emerges.
It’s not that the candidate experience is broken. More accurately, the lens through which we view the candidate experience is broken – We’re not looking at it at an inter-personal level, and the many, many micro moments that gradually build relationships between people and employers.
Join Jennifer Burnett, Ph.D., Senior Principal Consultant, Thought Leadership at Cornerstone OnDemand & Shannon Seery, Recruitment Marketing Strategist, Symphony Talent, to uncover the deeper value of creating micro moments across the career journey.

8. “The Employee Journey is made up of a series of micro
moments throughout their lives with employers. The
experience is how people perceive their own personal
journey.
The Talent Experience is a mindful and conscious effort to
ensure that those micro moments in that personal
employee journey are met with the greatest impact.”
