# Design a candidate experience worth talking about

> Fast loops, real communication, respect for time — your employer brand compounds here.

**Track:** 🧭 Engineering Leadership · **Domain:** Hiring · **Level:** intermediate · **~25 min**

**Who this is for:** Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Staff Engineers, CTOs

## When to Use This Skill

Fast loops, real communication, respect for time — your employer brand compounds here.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Publish salary range and process map in the job post
2. Total loop under 3 weeks; feedback within 2 days every stage
3. Take-home capped at 3 hours or paid work-sample alternative
4. Every rejection includes one specific kind sentence
5. Onboarding starts at offer-accept: day-one access checklist
6. Survey candidates post-loop; act on top complaint

## Common Pitfalls

- Ghosting after final rounds nuking Glassdoor scores
- Five interviewers asking the same resume questions
