Predictive Experience Intelligence
Predict candidate-experience risk before it becomes hiring loss.
Candience defines Predictive Experience Intelligence for talent acquisition. It captures candidate experience at the moment of truth, detects emerging risk patterns across hiring operations, and routes clear interventions before candidates disengage, decline, or damage brand trust.
Survey tools ask what happened. Candience shows what is about to break.

Candience defines Predictive Experience Intelligence.
Candidate experience has become a business-risk surface. A delayed follow-up, unclear interview loop, poor handoff, or inconsistent interviewer behavior can quietly alter whether a candidate stays engaged, accepts, refers, buys, or warns others.
Legacy surveys measure memory after the fact. Candience captures experience signals while action is still possible.

Why this matters
Candidate experience is now a brand and revenue surface.
Not every disappointed candidate becomes a lost customer, but the directional signal is material. When candidate experience erodes, downstream consumer perception, referral, and trust signals follow. Predictive Experience Intelligence is the layer that translates those moments into operational decisions before they compound.
The invisible cost of delay
Most hiring losses do not begin as dramatic failures.
They begin as small delays, missed updates, unclear expectations, late interview feedback, or candidate uncertainty. A 72-hour feedback SLA becomes five days. A recruiting team does not see the pattern until candidates start disengaging.
Candience surfaces the risk earlier, identifies where it is happening, and is designed to deliver a specific intervention before the loss compounds.
Feedback is trending 2 days beyond the 72-hour baseline
How it works
Five movements, one intelligence layer.
- 01
Listen
Candience receives secure event signals, such as interview completion, through a focused webhook-based integration.
- 02
Ask at the moment of truth
Candidates receive a brief, anonymous, low-friction experience check shortly after the interview moment.
- 03
Score the experience
Signals are organized across aspects: communication, timing, professionalism, role clarity, engagement, fairness, and feedback quality.
- 04
Detect patterns
Repeated signals aggregate across teams, roles, interviewers, regions, stages, and baselines so anecdotes can be separated from systemic patterns.
- 05
Route action
Candience sends clear, deterministic interventions into existing workflows: Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email.
The map and the microscope
See the pattern from the map or the microscope.
Candience lets talent leaders zoom out to see regional, functional, or organizational experience risk, then zoom in to find the team, stage, interviewer group, or experience aspect creating the pattern.
A West Coast feedback issue may look like interviewer lateness at first. Candience can show whether the true pattern is meeting design, time-zone mismatch, hiring manager delay, feedback backlog, or repeated process ambiguity. The point is not blame. The point is precision.

No dashboard archaeology
Candience tells teams what to do next.
Candience is not built to give talent teams another analytics surface to decode. The system tells teams what changed, where it changed, why it matters, and what to do next.
What changed
A specific signal moved past a defined baseline.
Where it is happening
Region, team, stage, interviewer, or aspect.
Why it matters
Connected to candidate engagement and brand-risk outcomes.
What to do next
A clear, deterministic action routed into your workflow.
Average response time at 5 days against a 72-hour baseline
Candidate empathy
The best hiring teams make candidates want to choose them back.
Candience helps teams build the kind of hiring process candidates would want to experience themselves. Every interview is a brand moment. Every delay teaches the candidate something. Every vague answer creates doubt. Every respectful interaction compounds trust.
This is not about making every candidate happy. It is about removing the preventable reasons strong candidates walk away.

Pricing
Scales with hiring volume, not seat count.
Candience pricing scales with hiring volume, feedback-event volume, integration scope, workflow requirements, and enterprise controls. It is not positioned as a generic per-seat survey product.

Why now
Candidate experience is now public, measurable, and commercially relevant.
ATS systems record hiring activity but do not explain experience risk. Surveys collect feedback but usually arrive after intervention windows have closed. Candience creates the missing intelligence layer between candidate experience and business risk.
