UST Recognized for Excellence in Candidate Experience Across North America, EMEA, and APAC
UST, a leading AI and technology transformation company, has been honored with CandE Benchmark Research Awards for candidate experience excellence in North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions by the 2025 Global Candidate Experience Awards. UST also received the number one overall ranking for candidate experience in the EMEA region.
The CandE Awards are recognized worldwide as the benchmark for candidate experience, evaluating hundreds of companies annually. UST’s recognition in multiple regions underscores its commitment to providing an outstanding candidate journey across all positions. Its No Candidate Left Behind initiative demonstrates proactive engagement with all candidates, regardless of hiring outcomes.
Recipients of the CandE Benchmark Research Award were determined by Survale through analysis of over 66,000 candidate satisfaction survey responses. Companies qualify only by achieving a statistically significant response rate, including feedback from candidates who were not hired.
“Receiving CandE Candidate Experience Awards across multiple regions is a huge win for our global recruiting team. This recognition reflects our commitment to protecting UST’s talent brand, the intuitiveness of our career portal, the professionalism of our hiring managers, and the exceptional onboarding experience we deliver. Awards in all three categories highlight that UST has built a cohesive global team dedicated to making every candidate interaction outstanding,” said Kendall Messner, Global Head of Strategic Talent Acquisition at UST.
Kevin Grossman, VP of Benchmark Research at Survale, added, “When the economy is uncertain, candidates remember how you made them feel. Improving the experience isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s a long-term investment in relationships and ultimately impacts business outcomes and employment brands. Transparency, consistent communication, and feedback at every recruitment stage are key differentiators that drive positive results.”
