Manager of Candidate Experience is a title we have never heard before on this show! Today’s guest, Rebecca Gonzalez from FullStop, is here to tell us how she came to hold such a unique, modern, and candidate-friendly crown. FullStop’s focus is digital-experience intelligence but before Rebecca came into her current role, work needed to be done to enhance FullStop’s candidate experience. Our guest tells us how adding her own personality helped to improve her company’s candidate communications, before explaining what “bionics” means in relation to her company’s values. We learn of the unexpected twists and turns during her professional journey, what she considers to be a successful candidate experience, why rejection communications should also be high-priority, and why, when prompted, she will always give rejected candidates succinct feedback.

“[Recruiting] is a lot like dating, right? You’re on these dating apps and people ghost you and it’s rude, but you never know when you bump into somebody or who they might know or if they have a friend. So just keep the door open, always end things on a good note.” — Rebecca Gonzalez [0:17:53]
“It is not always just about getting a job, sometimes you learn something about yourself.” — Rebecca Gonzalez [0:24:58]
