Read what this organization had to say about their winning strategies.
“At ServiceNow, we believe the learning experience starts well before Day 1. Our New Hire Sneak Peek (NHSP) is a global virtual conference that energizes new hires during the pre-start period. Spanning three coordinated virtual stages worldwide, NHSP features an inspiring keynote alongside individualized sessions hosted by each business unit for their incoming new hires. Through leadership insights, peer connections, and an inside look at our culture, this event transforms the time between offer acceptance and start date into a moment of excitement and belonging, ensuring every new hire feels welcomed and ready to hit the ground running.”
“Our Campus to Career Activator Series builds community among pre-hire talent through a global, values-driven learning journey. Each session is anchored to a core company value, from "Stay Hungry and Humble" to "Create Belonging," blending live virtual events with bite-sized content. Spanning our global time zones and running throughout the full pre-hire calendar year, the series is complemented by active online communities where participants connect, share, and support one another. Together, these experiences create a shared language and sense of belonging long before Day 1, turning future new hires into a community united by our values.”
This organization had one of the lowest renege rates among their peers who applied.
In their application, they cited regular communication with new hires between acceptance and start date, connecting new hires with peers before the start date, and hosting pre-start programming or events as the top 3 reasons for their low rate.
“Our Peer Mentor program is an authentic development experience connecting current interns with former interns now working as full-time employees. We create a psychologically safe space focused on real conversations about their current internship experience—successes, challenges, manager relationships, and effective AI usage in daily work. Peer mentors share honest insights about life as an FTE and navigating the intern-to-employee transition. We enhanced the experience by preparing our Peer Mentors with personalized follow-up resources, to help direct the conversation that is most meaningful to our interns. It's mentorship reimagined—where employee experiences amplify authentic career guidance.”
This organization had one of the top internship to full-time conversion rates among their peers.
“Our internship program is intentionally designed to build AI fluency from day one! Interns take on high‑impact projects within their potential business unit, gain VP+‑level exposure through structured reverse mentorship, and collaborate across functions on an enterprise‑wide challenge that mirrors real organizational problem‑solving. These experiences help interns feel like true contributors while developing future‑ready skills and meaningful relationships. By giving early‑career talent a clear view of their impact and their path forward, we create the kind of momentum that inspires them to return full‑time.”
