Hiring and On-boarding - Supervisors
Supervisors play a crucial role in the hiring and onboarding processes, serving as the bridge between the organization and prospective employees. Supervisors set the tone for the organizational culture, providing guidance, support, and resources to facilitate a successful onboarding experience that fosters employee engagement and long-term retention.
Here are three key recommendations for supervisors regarding hiring and onboarding provided by the Talent Acquisition team:
Prioritize providing a positive candidate experience from application to onboarding. Communication and transparency throughout the hiring process; providing timely updates to candidates, offering constructive feedback, and personalizing interactions, will positively impact our university’s reputation and ability to attract top talent.
Support new hires through effective onboarding processes, provide ongoing training and development opportunities, foster a positive work environment, solicit feedback to address any challenges, and ensure alignment between their roles and organizational goals for long-term retention and success.
For hiring, onboarding, or retention support for staff positions, don’t hesitate to contact The University Human Resources (UHR) Talent Acquisition (TA) Team. UHR TA provides optional and customizable talent acquisition services, supporting all facets of identifying, attracting, acquiring, and retaining skilled and qualified individuals to fulfill staff roles at the University of Maryland.
