Join the waitlist: State of Candidate Experience 2026 is coming!

State of Candidate Experience 2026
Every year at Connectr Talent Technology we survey 1000s of candidates across the UK to understand candidate behaviour and how it is shifting year on year. This year the survey will deepen it's focus on AI usage amongst candidates, exploring more about trust, fairness and specific tools and use cases.
As always the survey will cover what candidates value in employers the most, their biggest challenges when searching and applying for roles and how employers are best serving candidates via content, channels and advocacy.
Our data covers a range of demographics and we will analyse trends across different groups to give employers a clear picture of the state of candidate experience and help you look ahead and plan for 2026.
We are seeking to have the report ready by end of this year, if you'd like to get it emailed to you when it is released you can join the waitlist below.
