The CandE Awards are recognized globally as the benchmark for candidate experience, with hundreds of companies across industries evaluated annually. Recognition across multiple regions highlights UST's global commitment to creating the ideal candidate experience, no matter the position applied for. Candidate experience is a critical driver of employer brand, retention, and hiring efficiency, and UST's 'No Candidate Left Behind' initiative exemplifies this by proactively engaging with all candidates regardless of the result.

CandE Benchmark Research Award recipients were determined by Survale through a comprehensive analysis of more than 66,000 candidate satisfaction survey responses. To qualify, companies must meet a statistically significant minimum response rate, including responses from candidates who were not hired.

"Receiving CandE Candidate Experience Awards across multiple regions is a huge win for our global recruiting team. This recognition reflects our commitment to protecting UST's talent brand, the intuitiveness of our career portal, the professionalism of our hiring managers, and the exceptional onboarding experience we deliver. Receiving awards in all three categories we entered highlights that UST has built a cohesive global team dedicated to making every candidate interaction outstanding," said Kendall Messner, Global Head of Strategic Talent Acquisition, UST.

"When the economy is uncertain, candidates remember how you made them feel. Improving the experience isn't just the right thing to do it's a long-term investment in relationships and the ultimate impact on businesses. Transparency, along with consistent communication and feedback loops at every stage of the recruitment process, are always critical differentiators in our research and can equate to positive business outcomes and employment brands," said Kevin Grossman, VP of Benchmark Research, Survale.
