We’re excited to announce a brand-new partnership designed to bring something fresh, thoughtful, and genuinely impactful to hospitality hiring: Candid has teamed up with Toggle to introduce seamless, in-platform gift cards for candidates.

This means hospitality brands can now reward, engage, and connect with candidates in a whole new way – directly within the Candid platform.

🚀 Why we’re excited about this partnership

Hospitality hiring isn’t just about filling roles – it’s about creating experiences. The best brands know that every touchpoint with a candidate matters.

With Toggle’s gifting infrastructure now embedded into Candid, employers can go beyond traditional hiring processes and introduce moments of appreciation that candidates actually remember.

From encouraging candidates to visit venues during the hiring process, to maintaining positive relationships even when roles aren’t the right fit – this partnership helps brands turn hiring into a more human, engaging journey.

In their words:

“This is a really exciting integration for us. Toggle has always been an omnichannel gifting platform, and partnering with Candid creates a new powerful point of use – within the candidate journey. It gives shared customers a simple way to offer potential hires a real venue experience during the interview process, making recruitment more engaging, memorable and brand-led.” 

Dan Brookman, CEO at Toggle
