Candidate Pulse gives talent teams real visibility into how candidates feel, where they drop off, and what you can do about it — before it damages your brand.
Built with simulated candidate data to explore real-world hiring experience patterns.
Candidate Pulse is a self-built employer branding and candidate experience tool designed to bring visibility into what candidates actually go through during the hiring process.
It helps teams understand where candidates drop off, how they feel at each stage, and what small changes can improve communication, reduce friction, and build trust.
I’m an HR professional with a strong interest in candidate experience, recruitment operations, and employer branding. I enjoy understanding how people experience hiring processes — not just from a metrics perspective, but from a human one.
This project started as an idea I wanted to explore on my own. Instead of just thinking about it, I decided to build something real — combining curiosity, data, and storytelling to better understand how hiring can feel for candidates.
✨ Recruitment isn’t just a process — it’s an experience.
And every experience leaves an impression. ✨
