Frequently asked questions
What is onboarding?
Onboarding is the process by which a successful candidate transitions into a new hire. They learn about the company policies, meet their new colleagues, and get a handle on different day-to-day processes. By the end of the onboarding, the new hire should feel comfortable and confident in their new role.
Why is onboarding important?
Onboarding is important for ensuring new hires have a good understanding of the company and their new role. It helps improve the candidate experience by giving them the confidence to step seamlessly first into the company, and then into the role.
How long should onboarding take?
The length of the onboarding process may vary depending on the seniority and responsibilities of the role, but three to six months is a fairly standard timeframe. It should also be tailored to the new hire themselves, some people might benefit from a longer onboarding process.
What are some common onboarding mistakes?
Some common onboarding mistakes are a lack of pre-boarding, a lack of onboarding structure, unclear goals, lack of feedback and support, and new hires not being given the right tools.
