Step by Step Guide to Automate Onboarding in Recruiting

What is Onboarding in Recruitment? 

Onboarding in recruitment is the structured process of integrating new hires into an organization, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and support needed to succeed. It covers everything from paperwork and training to cultural adaptation and role-specific guidance.

For example, when a new sales executive joins a company, onboarding may include system access, product training, and introductions to key team members.

Without proper onboarding, employees may feel lost, disengaged, or unproductive, leading to higher turnover and inefficiencies. A well-executed onboarding process boosts retention, accelerates productivity, and creates a positive first impression of the company culture.
