Introducing your internal team to Abode is important: it helps everyone understand the technology they may be using (or exposed to), provides clarity around expectations, and facilitates buy-in around any organizational or process changes.
We recommended introducing your team to Abode prior to importing candidates. Doing so helps with platform awareness and expectations, and ensures a smooth and successful launch.
There is no right or wrong way to introduce your team to Abode and it may depend on your team’s size, organization, and overall timeline for launching Abode. Please see below for some sample messaging to get you started.
Abode Overview
Abode enables companies to create and execute a modernized and engaging onboarding strategy catered to the newest workforce generation. Abode’s platform provides an all-in-one place to communicate expectations, facilitate connections, garner feedback, and build a community from the time an offer is extended to 100% productivity. In addition to communication, Abode provides actionable analytics and insights for Early-Career and TA teams by giving a complete picture of candidate engagement levels. Abode collects hundreds of data points to help teams understand where engagement is happening (or not happening) and how to get in front of reneges or turnovers before they happen.
