Salt Lake City recruiting experts at Recruiting Connection can save you time and money as you recruit, pre-board, and onboard your new Salt Lake City talent. Now, recruiters share the warning signs and ways to treat “post-hire shock,” one of the top reasons new hires leave their new positions.

With the help of our Salt Lake City recruiters you’ve set the tone for your new hire’s entire tenure using the pre-boarding and onboarding tips in our two previous posts. But with 60% of employee turnover attributed to “post-hire shock,” managers and mentors must watch for these telltale signs, and implement treatment strategies to keep your new Recruiting Connection hire.

• Your new Salt Lake City recruit disengages or seems overwhelmed.

• He or she doesn’t connect with colleagues.

• Your new hire stops asking questions.

• Mentors or co-workers have heard comments about the position not meeting his or her expectations.

• Immediately connect your new hire with a mentor, if you haven’t already.

• Ask the mentor to schedule quick daily meetings to discuss workload, expectations, and any other issues.

• Gather feedback from your new Salt Lake City employee and their mentor, separately.

• Make sure your new recruit has access to essential resources for their job (such as software or other technical resources) and help them learn about the organization.

• Find personalized ways to help them feel connected based on their interests and priorities.

Salt Lake City recruiting experts point to one creative way to connect your new employees with their colleagues: create an employee directory. Use headshots, add titles and duties, and share fun tidbits about each employee, such as hobbies or favorite vacation spots. The directory serves as a conversation starter and helps your new hire connect names, faces, and roles – especially if they work with a remote workforce.

Recruiting Connection experts agree that diagnosing and treating “post-hire shock” can help prevent costly turnover. Use these tips to improve your onboarding process, prevent future shock, and hold on to that great talent you found through a Salt Lake City recruiting firm.
