Onboarding step-by-step

You have an applicant! What next?

1. Acknowledge
   Send a message ASAP - preferably within 24hrs
   Tell the applicant when and how you will be in touch
2. Security check (for sensitive roles)
   Are they vouched for by someone known?
3. Call
   A friendly phone call is best - you get a better idea of the person
   Ask them about themselves - start to build trust
   Explain the role
   Can they make your meetings?
   What are their skills?
   Do they have access needs?
   For sensitive roles, request social media names for background checks
