✏️ Introduction
Understanding what the onboarding experience looks like from the candidate’s perspective is a valuable way to ensure it’s clear, engaging, and easy to follow. This guide walks you through how onboarding appears to a candidate - covering email notifications, dashboard prompts, and how workflows are presented in a carousel and completed. Seeing the process from their point of view helps you optimise both presentation and experience.
👁️Viewing Your Onboarding Pack As An ATS User
Below is an example of an onboarding template where all of the candidate workflows have been aligned to the Accepted stage.
Each workflow contains workflow items that the candidate will need to watch, read and/or complete.

👥 Candidate View
As soon as you send the onboarding workflows the candidate will receive an email. The email will contain a “Start now” button to commence the onboarding process.
The candidate can also log in to their profile and see a notification on their Dashboard indicating that further action is required for a specific job (1).
Regardless of how the candidate accesses onboarding, either via email or their Dashboard - they will be taken to the list of workflows to complete.
In the example below, a carousel layout is shown because multiple workflows have been assigned.
This carousel layout won’t always appear. You may choose to send different workflows at different stages of the recruitment process.
In these cases, the workflows will be shown individually rather than in a carousel - but the candidate experience will still be smooth and well-presented.
When the candidate selects "Continue to section," the first workflow item will appear - for example, a welcome video as shown in the image below.
In the image above, the list of workflow items appears on the left-hand side of the screen.
The candidate must select Confirm and Continue to move on to the next item.
After completing a workflow, they can revisit and review any section, and download the content if they choose.
Once all workflow items are complete, the candidate can return to their profile and Dashboard.
