Ingevity Corporation (NYSE: NGVT), a leading provider of products and technologies that purify, protect, and enhance the world around us, has achieved significant recognition in the realm of human resources by being named a 2025 Candidate Experience (CandE) Award winner. This acknowledgment, announced on October 8, 2025, highlights Ingevity's commitment to providing an outstanding candidate experience and positions the company seventh among 76 global organizations celebrated for this achievement.

2. The Importance of Candidate Experience

The CandE Benchmark Research and Awards Program, initiated by Talent Board and currently powered by Survale, is a pioneering global initiative aimed at enhancing candidate experience. This comprehensive program employs a two-step evaluation process that includes a self-assessment by participating companies and a candidate survey that captures feedback on the hiring journey. The results of this research emphasize the importance of creating a positive and engaging experience for job seekers, which can significantly affect a company’s reputation and ability to attract top talent.

3. Commitment to Transparency and Fairness

Ingevity's recognition as a CandE Award winner is attributed to its strong commitment to transparency, fairness, and continuous improvement in the hiring process. The company was evaluated based on candidate feedback across four critical areas: overall experience, likelihood to reapply, willingness to refer others, and the potential impact on future business relationships. These metrics were weighted to reflect both feedback from hired and non-hired candidates, ensuring a holistic view of the candidate experience.

Terry Dyer, Ingevity's Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, expressed the company’s pride in receiving this accolade. "Ingevity is honored to be recognized for delivering an exceptional candidate experience. Our dedication to cultivating a thriving, engaging workplace continues to shape our success.
