Placement & Onboarding
This stage supports the candidate’s commencement and early integration into the business. A successful recruitment outcome does not end at acceptance — it depends on a smooth start, clear expectations and early communication.
Commencement & Early Integration
What Happens During Placement & Onboarding?
Placement and onboarding focuses on helping the new employee start with clarity. This stage supports early communication between the client and candidate, helping reduce confusion, improve engagement and create a stronger first impression.
