SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 13, 2012) - The Candidate Experience Awards, created by veterans of the recruiting industry to help employment candidates have a better experience when they apply for work, announced today that co-founder Ed Newman will appear as this week's featured guest on The Bill Kutik Radio Show®.
The Bill Kutik Radio Show is a bi-weekly online talk show hosted by Bill Kutik, a leading independent analyst in the HR technology marketplace. Produced by Knowledge Infusion, the show features unedited and unrehearsed conversations with some of the industry's key thought leaders, including executives from leading technology providers. Newman will be the featured guest on Wednesday, August 15, 2012, airing at 12:00 noon EDT, 9:00 a.m. PDT.
The Candidate Experience Awards (or CandEs) were founded by Newman, along with Elaine Orler, CEO of Talent Function, and Gerry Crispin, co-founder of CareerXroads, to find and honor the organizations who are "the best companies to apply to work for." During his appearance, Newman will provide an update on the status of the 2012 CandEs ahead of its second annual outing at this year's HR Technology Conference, held in Chicago on October 8, 2012. Following its highly successful debut last year at the conference, the CandEs have experienced an 80 percent increase in the number of companies applying and have been mentioned in the Wall Street Journal numerous times.
Listeners of the show will also be the first to hear a special announcement from Newman, as this leading expert in recruiting unveils his latest engagement.
"Ed Newman has been making recruiting systems work almost since they first appeared. But companies too often use those systems to create 'black holes' for their candidates or otherwise treat them poorly. During his appearance on the show, Ed will discuss the hard work he has done for the second annual Candidate Experience Awards, which honor those companies who make recruiting better," said Bill Kutik, Technology Columnist, Human Resource Executive and HRE Online.
