Hiring top talent is only the beginning. The real success lies in how smoothly new employees transition into your organization. A well-structured candidate onboarding process can significantly boost retention, engagement, and productivity — and that’s exactly where HRBluSky delivers.

Why Onboarding Matters More Than Ever

According to research, organizations that invest in a strong onboarding process see:

• 82% higher new hire retention

• Over 70% increase in productivity

Yet despite the clear benefits, a staggering 88% of employees say their company doesn’t provide a good onboarding experience. That’s a huge missed opportunity.

Enter HRBluSky Connect — a smart, automated platform that ensures your new hires start strong from day one.

The Role of Candidate Onboarding Forms

Imagine starting a new job without clarity, documentation, or support. It’s a reality for many employees, and often the reason behind early exits. Candidate onboarding forms help avoid this by:

Collecting essential details in one go

Ensuring compliance with company policies

Creating a consistent onboarding experience for all roles

With HRBluSky, these forms are fully customizable, digitized, and integrated — saving time while ensuring accuracy.

The Impact of Effective Onboarding

Still wondering if onboarding deserves your attention? Consider these stats:

🔹 69% of employees are more likely to stay with a company for three years if they experience great onboarding

🔹 20% of new hires leave within the first 45 days due to poor onboarding

🔹 Companies with structured onboarding see 50% higher productivity from new hires

HRBluSky helps turn these numbers in your favor with automation and intelligent workflows.
