A May 16 receipt, from Pier 1 Imports:

I recently did a little interview with Continental Airlines for the June issue of the Journal of Corporate Recruting Leadership. Continental says it'd like to improve the candidate experience, becoming a bit more like Starbucks (and its giving of coffee gift cards to candidates).

Perhaps, after some designated point in the hiring process (such as after the first interview), Continental could email each prospective employee, saying "we actually listen to you," directing them to a URL for feedback, and offering them $20 off of their next Continental flight.

    A great idea. Wouldn't it be terrific if all organisations offered candidates an opportunity to provide feedback (good and bad) about their recruitment experience. I am sure it would deliver a lot of great data for them to work with and ultimatley improve their talent attraction processes.
