Speed Up Engineering Onboarding: Slash Time to Start
Effortless onboarding for engineers – start utilising top talent faster than ever before.
In the UK engineering sector, slow onboarding can lead to delays in project starts and increased recruitment costs. According to REC research, it takes an average of 8 weeks to onboard a new engineer. AI can cut this time by up to 75% – enabling you to fill vacancies faster and reduce hiring costs.
The Costly Consequences of Slow Engineering Onboarding
