Read what this organization had to say about their winning strategies.
“Our team is proud of creating a multi-pronged engagement strategy that keeps incoming talent connected from offer acceptance through Day 1. We use email, Slack, virtual events, and in-person experiences like our “Step Inside Klaviyo” event to help students build community early. We share LinkedIn banners and encourage them to share the exciting news with their network. Lastly, we send Klaviyo swag, holiday cards, and gift cards to support them during finals. Most importantly, we create human connection before team placements are finalized by connecting hires with alumni ambassadors, mentors, and interviewers, so they feel welcomed beyond just their recruiter.”
“Klaviyo's Early Careers Mentorship Program pairs every intern with a dedicated full-time Klaviyo focused on developing skills to enhance their professional growth. We’re most proud that 40%+ of former interns (now full-time Klaviyos) have volunteered to become mentors. To support that scale while maintaining a positive experience, our team built a custom Mentor Portal so users can track 1:1s, skill development, and we have visibility into engagement. It's a testament to how seriously we invest in our early careers community, ensuring every intern feels supported and valued during their time here while they are building meaningful connections across Klaviyo.”
