Good morning, New Employee!
We are so glad that you are here and are excited to get you going on your training. First, I would like to tell you about the hiring process that we went through to find you. Here are the numbers:
We had 297 applicants. We interviewed 49 people for the first interview; we had 11 second interviews and we had 3 third interviews.
We chose you.
So, when you get frustrated, and you will, I want you to remember that we fought hard for you, and we want this to be a great experience for all of us. Make sure that you come to me with questions all along the way, and we promise to do our best to provide a great work environment for you.
Ready to get started?
Can you imagine how you would feel if your new boss began your tenure this way? Your employee will be overwhelmed by how much work you did to find them, and they will start off working for you feeling valued, needed and committed.
Are you inspired? Think of how they feel!
