Survale Unveils AI Data Layer and Hiring Manager Certification at HR Tech 2026

Survale, the most awarded talent feedback and analytics platform, will exhibit at the 2026 HR Technology Conference & Exposition, October 20-22 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. At Booth 3810, the company will unveil three major announcements, headlined by new infrastructure that makes talent experience data available to AI agents and enterprise analytics platforms for the first time. The new MCP Server and Analytics API position Survale as the experience data layer for the AI-powered talent stack. The MCP server allows client AI agents to securely retrieve live Survale metrics and trends within any agentic process, enabling automated executive briefings and AI-generated reporting. The Analytics API automatically pulls data into BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, or people analytics platforms such as Visier, Splash BI, or Crunchr. Launch metrics include Overall Candidate NPS, Hiring Manager Satisfaction, Completion %, and trend data with operational filters like location, recruiter, and job family.

SurvaleAI has also received a full agentic upgrade, now utilizing a team of expert agents to analyze statistical data and free-form comments. This new AI acts as an expert talent experience analyst, answering questions and surfacing insights tied to operational data. Users can save and share important prompts, activate the built-in analyst from any dashboard via a new Prompt Widget, and receive context-sensitive suggestions for reducing problems and leveraging successes. Additionally, the industry's first research-backed Hiring Manager Candidate Experience Certification is now generally available, built on 15 years of CandE Benchmark Research spanning 2M+ candidates across 2,000+ employers. The program includes five 10-minute modules, practical tools like the Panel Role-Assigner Matrix and 15-Minute Scorecard Method, and a closed feedback loop where certified managers see live candidate sentiment from the Survale platform. It is delivered via white-label branded portal or SCORM-compliant modules in any LMS.

Survale also announced the winners of the 2026 CandE Benchmark Research Program awards, recognizing employers with the highest-rated candidate experiences based directly on candidate feedback. The full list is available at https://survale.com/cande-award-winners/, and registration for the 2027 CandE program is now open. Jason Moreau, CEO of Survale, said, 'The theme of this year's show is moving from change to transformation, and that's exactly what these announcements deliver. AI agents and analytics platforms are transforming how talent decisions get made, but they've been flying blind on the human side of hiring. With our MCP server and API, Survale becomes the experience data layer for that entire stack—and with our new certification program, we're closing the loop by transforming hiring manager behavior itself. We can't wait to show it all at Booth 3810.' Attendees can visit Booth 3810 or contact Survale in advance to schedule a personalized demonstration. For more information, visit survale.com.
