The most overlooked part of recruitment? The time between “Yes” and Day One.
You’ve found the perfect candidate. The offer is signed. You breathe a sigh of relief. But the journey isn’t over; it’s just begun.
This crucial waiting period is when top talent can be lost to counter-offers or second thoughts. How do you ensure your new recruit feels valued before they even start?
🤝 Build the bridge:
* A welcome call from their manager.
* An invitation to a casual team lunch.
* Sending over some company literature or a welcome pack.
* Sharing an exciting piece of company news.
These small gestures transform the experience from a transaction into a relationship. It shows you’re invested in them as a person, not just a number.
Remember, no one hires for the short term. Start building the foundation for long-term loyalty from the moment they say yes.
