Read what this organization had to say about their winning strategies.
“We keep talent warm through consistent touchpoints every four weeks, including year-round employer brand communications, pre-start check-ins via email and calls, and ensuring each hire has a mentor and buddy assigned before day one. Following our public debut in December 2025, we launched a pre-start town hall series for hires joining between February and August 2026. The sessions provided transparent insight into why we became public, what changes candidates can expect, and most importantly what will remain unchanged: our entrepreneurial spirit, collaborative culture, and values-driven leadership. We also highlighted how becoming a public company creates new opportunities and benefits for employees, helping future hires feel informed, connected, and excited before day one. This proactive engagement strategy strengthened trust, reinforced our culture, and kept talent warm during a period of significant organizational transformation.”
