# Candidate Experience Lexikon Post – Creation Notes

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-23

## Summary

New lexikon post on "Candidate Experience" created per blog-new-post-creation workflow. Topic is Recruiting/BMS cluster with no Ordio product mapping. Priority 1 content gap (21 competitor sources in LEXIKON_CONTENT_GAPS).

## Key Decisions

### Product Mapping
- **None** – Ordio has no BMS/Recruiting product. Content is informational.
- Links to bewerbermanagementsystem, onboarding, digitale Personalakte for post-hire workflow only.
- **Do NOT add** to `blog-product-feature-mapping.json`.

### PAA Handling
- SISTRIX returned >80% off-topic questions (LinkedIn, recruiting, employer branding).
- Created `data/paa-questions-manual.json` with 14 HR-focused questions.
- Re-ran `collect-faq-research-data.php` to load override.

### Content Differentiation
- **H2 "Candidate Experience vs. Candidate Journey vs. Employee Experience"** – Required differentiation per plan. Candidate Journey and Employee Experience are gaps (mention without link).
- CE = subjektives Erleben; Journey = Weg/Phasen; Employee Experience = nach Einstellung.

### Related Posts
- First: bewerbermanagementsystem (BMS supports Candidate Experience)
- Carousel targets: bewerbermanagementsystem, onboarding, employer-branding, talent-pool, active-sourcing, initiativbewerbung, stellenbeschreibung, cultural-fit, mitarbeiterbindung, fachkraeftemangel, human-resources, personalentwicklung-und-weiterbildung, employee-engagement

### Bidirectional Links
- **bewerbermanagementsystem:** Added candidate-experience link in H2 "BMS und Candidate Experience" and in FAQ "Was ist Candidate Experience?" (via `add-candidate-experience-links.php`)

### Image
- Scene type: CAFE (candidate perspective during interview/application; distinct from bewerbermanagementsystem CAFE recruiter angle)
- Generated via `generate-blog-featured-image.py` (Gemini)

### Validation
- All validators passed (section-depth, content-completeness, faq-quality, faq-schema, new-post)
- Fixed featured_image.alt to match post title + " | Ordio"
