Check out our CEO & Co-founder Ahva Sadeghi on The HR Tech Spotlight Podcast 🔥 Thank you Deanna Shimota for having us on the show! #OpenUpTheWorkforce
Remember your very first “real world” job? It was probably a bit overwhelming. That is where Symba 💢 comes in – an HR technology platform for new hire and early career readiness. In this episode of The HR Tech Spotlight podcast, Deanna chats with co-founder and CEO, Ahva Sadeghi, about the technology and how it is helping organizations onboard the next generation of workers – giving them a smooth transition into their new role and new company. Some of what they touch on: ✅ Symba supports cohort-style onboarding for interns, new grads, apprentices, or any group with shared training needs – starting before day one ✅ this group often changes jobs frequently (up to 10 times by age 34), so employers should focus on faster ramp-up and time-to-productivity rather than long tenures ✅ enables new hires to easily get peer or manager help when needed ✅ the company is expanding into frontline and hourly workforces to help employers facilitate movement of these types of employees into corporate roles Check out this episode to learn how Symba can help your organization fast-track the next generation of employees and others from pre-boarding to productivity: https://hubs.la/Q02G1p5Q0 #HRtech #HRtechnology #podcast #NewHires #Onboarding ---------------------------- Are you a leader at a rising HR tech company?
