Candidate management refers to the comprehensive process of handling prospective employees’ interactions from the initial contact stage, through application, shortlisting, interviewing, and eventually, to the hiring phase. It is a strategic approach aimed at ensuring a seamless, efficient, and positive experience for every candidate, which in turn enhances an organisation’s employer brand.
