In today’s competitive job market, delivering an exceptional candidate experience isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must. Research shows that 78% of job seekers say the candidate experience is a reflection of how a company values its employees and this perception directly impacts your employer brand. At Suna Solutions, we specialize in helping businesses craft a candidate experience that not only attracts top talent but also strengthens your brand in the eyes of potential employees and the industry at large.
Why Candidate Experience Matters
The candidate experience encompasses every interaction a candidate has with your company, from the first job posting they see to the final offer or rejection. A positive experience leaves candidates feeling valued, even if they don’t get the job. Conversely, a negative experience can harm your reputation, making it harder to attract high-quality applicants in the future.
In fact, a study by CareerArc found that 72% of candidates who had a poor experience shared it online or directly with someone, potentially discouraging others from applying to your organization. This highlights the critical link between candidate experience and your employer brand—a brand that, when managed well, can drive recruitment success and improve employee retention.

The Impact on Your Employer Brand
When candidates have a positive experience, they’re more likely to view your organization as a desirable place to work, regardless of the hiring outcome. This sentiment is powerful in shaping your employer brand. Candidates who feel respected and valued are also more likely to:
- Recommend your company to others.
- Apply for future opportunities.
- Speak positively about your brand on platforms like Glassdoor and LinkedIn.
A strong employer brand doesn’t just attract talent—it builds trust with clients, partners and stakeholders. Partnering with Suna allows you to align your recruitment efforts with broader brand goals, ensuring every candidate interaction reinforces your company’s commitment to excellence.
