HR Glossary
What is Pre-boarding?
The structured set of activities that take place between a candidate's offer acceptance and their official Day 1, covering paperwork, IT provisioning, team introductions, and cultural immersion to reduce early turnover and accelerate time to productivity.
Why it matters in hiring
Pre-boarding comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
