‘A job posting is often the first introduction to your company for your potential employee. Make sure you accurately present the elements of the job that are most interesting and meaningful to the candidate, including salary, benefits, responsibilities, and expectations.’

‘Look beyond ‘Can the person do the job’ and consider ‘Do I want to spend my days working with this person?’

‘When you show a candidate that you believe in their talent, ability, and future success, you give them the confidence to believe it themselves and then work to make it a reality.’

‘Promoting their commitment to your organization publicly celebrates the new hire and builds broader interest in your enterprise.’

‘Celebrating the commitment of a new hire not only creates a meaningful memory for the employee-to-be, but it also shines a spot light on your organization and your industry.’

‘Make sure you don’t disappear in the traditionally quiet period between a candidate accepting a job offer and showing up for their first day of employment.’

‘Think about the space your new employee will occupy when working your team and take the time to make it special and personalized.’

‘If you want your new hire to turn into veteran employees, you need to help them win during their first day on the job.’

‘Giving your people time to recharge before they jump into a new position with you is almost always the right choice.’

‘One of the fastest ways to connect new employees to their coworkers is to assign their first buddy in the organization.’

‘Every employee has coworkers. Not every employee has colleagues.’
