Finding the perfect team members and ensuring they’re equipped to thrive in their roles can feel overwhelming. That’s where Thrive. steps in. With our Recruitment & Onboarding services, we’ll handle the complexities, so you can focus on running your business.

Why This Matters.

A poor hiring process or disorganised onboarding can lead to disengagement, turnover, and wasted time. Research shows that 33% of employees quit their jobs within the first 90 days due to unmet expectations or poor onboarding[1]. Additionally, between 10% and 25% of new hires leave within the first six months when the role or company culture doesn’t align with their expectations[2]. Ensuring a smooth process not only boosts retention but also sets the foundation for long-term employee success.

Imagine a recruitment process where every candidate aligns with your company’s values, skills, and goals—no more wasting time on unsuitable hires. With Thrive.’s tailored approach, you’ll attract individuals who don’t just fit the role but enhance your team’s dynamic and productivity.

Picture onboarding that feels like a seamless extension of your company’s culture. From day one, new hires are equipped with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to succeed, leaving them confident and excited about their future with your business.

Think about the long-term benefits: reduced turnover, improved team morale, and higher employee engagement. When your team feels valued and supported from the start, they’re more likely to stay, grow, and contribute meaningfully to your goals.

With Thrive., you’ll transform recruitment and onboarding from a tedious task into a strategic advantage, helping you build a resilient, motivated workforce that drives your business forward. It’s not just about filling vacancies—it’s about future-proofing your team and empowering your business to thrive.

Challenges of Poor Recruitment and Onboarding.

Poor recruitment and onboarding practices can result in a cascade of issues for businesses, impacting costs, productivity, and employee retention.

1. High Turnover Rates

Approximately 30% of UK employees leave their job within the first six months, often due to unmet expectations or lack of support during onboarding[3]. Businesses with effective onboarding processes can improve employee retention by up to 70%, demonstrating the importance of structured support[4]/

2. Increased Costs

Replacing an employee in the UK can cost up to £30,000, factoring in recruitment, training, and lost productivity[5]. Poor onboarding results in wasted recruitment investments, with UK employers losing an estimated £3 billion annually due to early employee turnover[6].

3. Reduced Productivity

New hires typically take three to eight months to reach full productivity. Without proper onboarding, this ramp-up time is extended, affecting team efficiency and output[7]. Ineffective onboarding can lower productivity by up to 60% during an employee’s first year[8].

4. Negative Impact on Employee Engagement

Employees who experience poor onboarding are two times more likely to disengage, leading to decreased performance and morale across teams[9]. A well-structured onboarding program makes new hires 58% more likely to stay with their employer for three years or more, enhancing stability and engagement[10].

5. Legal and Compliance Risks

Inadequate onboarding can result in breaches of UK employment law, such as failure to issue a written statement of employment particulars within the first two months, a legal requirement under the Employment Rights Act 1996[11]. Failure to provide right-to-work checks during onboarding can result in fines of up to £20,000 per employee for UK employers[12].
