"It was easy to deploy and everyone in the team was super helpful right from the first call until implementation and further ongoing support."
A candidate has accepted your offer … amazing!
But, now what?
Without an employee preboarding platform, new hires walk into what we call the Valley of Uncertainty – the gap between offer acceptance and day one that invites uncertainty, looking at potential competing offers, and reduced engagement.
If you’re exploring preboarding software for your HR team, try some of these resources that may help:
Employee ghosting = a new hire that never shows up. US Today reports anywhere from 20-50% of applicants and employees are engaging in this, a real business risk for you!
This can happen before or after accepting a job offer, creating additional work, longer hiring cycles, and reduced HR productivity. The trend of a candidate accepting an offer and then deciding not to show has been on the rise.
Preboarding (“pre-day one onboarding”) refers to the time after a candidate accepts a job offer and their actual first day of working. This time should be used to fill out paperwork, orient them to their new team, answer questions, get tax and verification information, and more to speed up their onboarding and get them more excited for their start.
New hires often ghost an employer due to a lack of engagement, unclear job expectations, or a better job offer elsewhere. If a company’s onboarding process is disorganized or fails to make the new hire feel welcomed, they may quit without saying anything.
Employee preboarding helps prevent employee ghosting building excitement for their new role and building their buy-in with automated reminders, real-time updates, simple workflows that walk them through forms, signups, and notices, all with a mobile-first experience that goes where they are.
This reduces fears or doubts they may experience during what we call the Valley of Uncertainty, that gap between offer acceptance and start date.
Employee preboarding and onboarding are fairly similar in that they both involve getting a new hire started in their new role.
Preboarding occurs before day one, allowing for new hires (and HR) to handle verifications and expectation-setting in advance so employees become productive faster and are more likely to stay in their first 12 months.
Most HR software doesn’t include purpose-built preboarding; some are missing it entirely, while others have added-on modules. None provide the best-in-class workflows with modern, secure experiences that make HR’s life easier and candidates onboard more effectively.
A point solution like Click Boarding neatly fits between your ATS and HRIS to create a stellar preboarding employee experience that drives real benefits.
Every industry can benefit, though those with large hiring needs and high-turnover roles typically see the highest ROI from their preboarding investments.
