North Billerica, MA, August 22, 2019
Curriculum Associates, a leader in innovative adaptive assessment and personalized learning materials for K–12 students and teachers, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group gold award for excellence in the Talent Acquisition: Best Candidate Experience category. Curriculum Associates’ win was announced on Thursday, August 22. The winners are listed at BrandonHall.com/ExcellenceAwards/Past-Winners.php.
Curriculum Associates’ mission has always been to make classrooms better places for teachers and learners, and the company’s culture is heavily tied to that mission. Curriculum Associates believes successful companies must have a higher purpose and promote a culture in which employees are driven by that purpose to succeed, and that starts from the minute candidates apply for a position at the company. Throughout the interview process, the Talent team strives to make the whole experience as seamless and painless as possible, leading to even those who aren’t ultimately hired to recommend Curriculum Associates to others in their networks.
“Our team works tirelessly to ensure each candidate has a positive experience interviewing with Curriculum Associates, and we’re honored to see that hard work recognized with this award from Brandon Hall Group,” said Shrina Sood, Senior Director of Talent at Curriculum Associates. “From travel support and itineraries for their interview day to a dedicated Candidate Experience Coordinator for each candidate, every aspect of our talent pipeline has been honed with the candidate in mind.”
“Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards Program has recognized leading organizations for the past 20-plus years for the latest trends in HCM,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards Program. “The initiatives that were honored are not only innovative, but [also] fit the unique needs of the business and create truly remarkable success stories.”
Award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives and were based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.
Excellence Awards winners will be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference, February 4–6, 2020, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida. Select winners will also serve as presenters in breakout sessions, sharing their leading practices during the conference.
“The HCM Excellence Awards recognize programs that measurably benefit organizations,” said Mike Cooke, Brandon Hall Group CEO. “Many [HCM] departments are unable to confirm that their initiatives help the business’s bottom line. Because we focus on measurable benefits, our awards program is universally recognized and highly prestigious.”
