Shaw Industries Group, Inc. (Shaw) has been recognized by the Talent Board Candidate Experience (CandE) Awards for its enhanced recruiting and candidate experience. Based on feedback from more than 130,000 candidates, Shaw ranked 35th among 130 North American companies.

  • The candidates’ overall ranking of their candidate experience
  • Whether they would reapply to the organization in the future
  • Whether they would refer other job seekers to the organization in the future
  • How the candidates would change their business relationship status with the organization going forward based on their experience
