Between signing your offer and showing up on day 1 typically 30-60 days pass. During that time: their current company counterattacks (counter-offer), their colleagues try to retain them, their family processes the change, and their current boss offers a promotion. The "no show" rate on day 1 is 8-12% for senior positions, according to LinkedIn Talent Insights data.

What really moves: a personal, not corporate, gesture. If the candidate mentioned in an interview that they are expecting a baby, a gift basket with personalized baby details including the baby's name (or, if undecided, the family surname) arrives at their home before day 1. The message: "this company has listened to us and already cares, even before we start".

Talent Acquisition program mechanics
Reduce no-show
Post-signing cancellation rates drop in senior positions. Public data available if you need a business case.
Elevate the “cultural decision”
When the candidate compares two offers, this breaks the tie.
Zero friction for recruiter
Your Talent Acquisition Specialist sends us the candidate’s name, address, start date, and “trigger” (expected birth, anniversary, etc.). We produce and ship.
Dedicated Talent account
For an individual gift, you can choose and personalise the contents in our shop. For a recurring programme, several delivery addresses or company terms, contact us to confirm the proposal before committing to dates or amounts.
Frequently asked questions
When do we send the gift: with the signed offer or before day 1?
Better 2-3 weeks after signing. Late enough so the candidate doesn’t feel “bought,” early enough to have an effect before the typical counter-offer negotiations in the days before day 1.
What do I do if the candidate hasn’t mentioned the baby’s birth?
Most likely it has come up in some informal conversation or is on LinkedIn. If not, don’t push. Better a personalized welcome detail without a baby theme than risk seeming intrusive.
Does it work with junior candidates or only seniors?
Junior candidates have a higher no-show rate (10-15%) but lower retention budget. We use more affordable formats (personalized bib, primary set). Seniors have a lower rate but greater impact per candidate; here we send the full gift basket.
How does it integrate with an ATS (Greenhouse, Workable, Lever)?
We receive candidate data through the channel you prefer: form, email, weekly CSV, API integration. Most B2B accounts use a web form filled out by the recruiter after signing.
What if the candidate ultimately doesn’t join?
Set each gift’s budget based on its contents and current total. There is no fixed programme rate or guaranteed retention return.
Reduce no-shows on day 1
If your Talent Acquisition team struggles with candidates who cancel after signing, this is one of the most effective pre-onboarding retention gestures. Let’s talk.
