Stop Losing New Hires
Most retention problems don't start in month six. They start in the job ad, the interview process, or the first week — long before anyone talks about "training." Tell us where yours might be breaking down.
The Damage Is Done Before Day One
Training and retention tend to get treated as a problem for later — something to sort out once someone's actually in the building. In practice, a lot of the damage is already done by then.
A candidate accepts a role based on a job ad and a few conversations. If what they signed up for doesn't match what they actually find on day one, no amount of onboarding paperwork or training budget fixes that gap. The people most likely to leave in the first year are very often the people who were sold the wrong picture from the start.
None of this is an argument against training. It's an argument for looking earlier. The teams with the strongest retention aren't necessarily the ones spending the most on it after the fact — they're the ones who got the hire, the expectations and the first few weeks right in the first place.
Four Moments That Decide More Than People Realise
The job ad oversells the role
Vague, generic or over-optimistic job ads bring in candidates who accept based on a picture that doesn't match the actual job. The disappointment shows up weeks later, but the mismatch happened here.
The process feels impersonal
Long silences, generic rejections, no idea who's reviewing an application — candidates read all of it as a preview of what working there will actually be like.
Onboarding is assembled on the fly
A new starter's first week sets the tone for the next two years. If the paperwork, the kit and the introductions are still being sorted out on day one, that tone is set before lunchtime.
Nobody checks in after week one
Most people who leave early decide long before they hand in notice. The gap between "settled in" and "already looking" is usually a missed conversation, not a missed training module.
