NYC Talent Acquisition Meetup — Candidate Experience in the AI Era
A small morning meetup for NYC Talent Acquisition and Recruiting professionals to exchange practical ideas about candidate experience, measurement, NPS, communication and the role of AI.
You track time to hire and source of hire. But how do you know what candidates actually think of your hiring process—including the ones you don’t hire?
Join a small group of NYC-based in-house recruiters and TA professionals to compare how we collect candidate feedback, make sense of it, and turn it into changes that matter.
Whether you already run candidate surveys or are still figuring out where to start, bring your experiences and questions. This is a chance to hear how other teams approach the same challenges and share what you’ve learned.
A few questions for the table:
When do you ask for feedback—and which candidates do you include?
What gets people to respond honestly, especially after a rejection?
Do you use NPS, satisfaction scores, open questions, or something else?
How do you separate disappointment about the outcome from feedback about the process?
How do you involve hiring managers and turn feedback into action?
What have you changed because of something candidates told you?
The most useful part of the conversation might be hearing what another team tried, what happened, and what they’d do differently.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A relaxed roundtable with 10–15 people, built around sharing experiences between peers. Everyone will have room to contribute, ask questions, and compare approaches. No slides, product demos, or preparation needed.
You don’t need an established feedback program to join. A question you haven’t solved yet is a good starting point.
WHO’S IT FOR?
In-house recruiters, TA specialists, and TA leaders recruiting for their own companies.
YOUR HOST & MODERATOR
I’m Stepan, founder of Recruitis, a European ATS. I’ve spent more than 20 years working with talent acquisition processes, getting a behind-the-scenes view of how hundreds of companies hire.
I’ll guide the discussion, ask questions, and make room for different perspectives. I’m particularly interested in comparing European and US experiences with candidate feedback: what we measure, what we learn, and what actually changes as a result.
Come ready to share, listen, and leave with ideas from other TA teams.
