They said yes. That doesn’t mean they’re joining.

Why recruitment doesn’t end at offer — and why onboarding may be the most overlooked part of the hiring process.

Recruitment teams invest huge amounts of time, money and effort getting the right person to say yes.

Then, too often, the experience changes.

Communication slows. The employer brand fades. Paperwork takes over. And during that awkward gap between offer and Day One, doubt, counter-offers and second thoughts can creep in.

With 27% of UK employers reporting selected candidates failing to turn up on Day One, this is not a fringe problem.

Our latest white paper explores why onboarding should be treated as part of recruitment, how it affects early attrition, employer brand and productivity, and what organisations can do to turn that vulnerable period into a stronger, more human joining experience.
