Start tracking your candidate experience using cNPS surveys

cNPS or Candidate Net Promoter Score is a measure to gauge your candidate satisfaction.

It asks your candidates to rate on a 0 to 10 scale - How likely are you to recommend a friend or colleague to apply for a job with us?

The survey responses are aggregated into three groups by their score:

  • Candidates who gave a 9 or 10 are called promoters

  • 7 or 8 are passives

  • 0-6 are detractors.

The final score is calculated: cNPS = % promoters - % detractors.

Admin user can configure the question from Organization settings under the Brand tab.

Why should I use cNPS?

To know what your candidates really think about your recruitment process, you'll need to ask them for actual feedback.

A positive candidate experience can help you attract and hire the best people.

cNPS is an excellent indicator for aligning your recruitment team behind improving candidate experience.

cNPS responses

To see the responses, open the project and click the cNPS score in the project header. You will see the cNPS, how many surveys were sent and answered, the response rate, and each candidate's score and comment.

cNPS reporting

The goal is to provide HR management with insights into the performance of their recruiters. The reports can be found in the Reports menu (Reporting → Reports). The cNPS reports are reactive to filters, enabling users to drill down by team, recruiter, or any project custom field for more detailed analysis.

To add cNPS to a report, open the report, click Add widget and choose cNPS. You can pick the chart style, which projects to include and the time period.

Benefits

The benefit of collecting candidate Net Promoter Score lies in gaining valuable insights into the recruitment process from the perspective of the candidates themselves. By asking candidates to evaluate their experience, recruiters can identify strengths and weaknesses, measure candidate satisfaction, enhance employer branding, improve candidate experience, and drive continuous improvement.
