How to Lose an Auditor in 10 Days

‍

‍

Every audit firm has its version of the “we thought we had them” story.

They met the candidate of their dreams; smart, tech-savvy, promising.

‍

The first week was roses and resource logins. By week two, the sparkle dulled.

By week three, coffee chats turned into ghost town tumbleweeds.

‍

By week four? Green LinkedIn ring. Application sent. Love story over.

‍

Why?

‍

You didn’t send them a GL. You sent them a monster.

‍

The “legend” was last updated in 2016. The sampling strategy had more versions than Taylor Swift’s discography.

‍

Tickmarks felt like ancient runes.

‍

And your onboarding folder? An archaeological dig site.

‍

Retention doesn’t come from kombucha on tap. It comes from clean audit files and the radical act of giving new hires tools that work.

‍

Because your next hire shouldn’t need a decoder ring on Day One.

‍

Let’s make onboarding a love story, not a ghosting.

Until next time,
Christiaan
