The first 90 days determine the next 3 years
Research consistently shows that employees who experience a structured onboarding process are 69% more likely to remain with the company for three years. A great first week isn't just kindness — it's retention strategy.
Managing your recruitment pipeline
Go to Recruitment → Jobs → New job to create a job posting. Each posting has a status (Draft, Published, Paused, Filled, Cancelled) and a type (Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Internship).
Add applicants under the job and move them through stages: New → Screening → Interview → Offer → Hired (or Rejected). Every stage change is timestamped so you can measure your time-to-hire.
The onboarding checklist
When you hire someone, go to HRMS → Onboarding and create a checklist for them. Standard items:
- Laptop set up and access provisioned
- Proactiq workspace invitation accepted
- Benefits enrollment completed
- Team introductions done
- First project assigned
- 30-day check-in scheduled
Assign each task to a person (HR, IT, manager, or the new joiner themselves) with a due date. The checklist tracks completion so nothing gets forgotten in the chaos of a new hire's first week.
