First impressions count. Really. Have you ever imagined arriving at a job interview for the first time and, for example, there is no reception, the first person you meet doesn’t know you had an appointment and the interviewer is late and still says he doesn’t have much time to talk because he is with too much work? You would run away, right? Me either.

Knowing how to receive, frame and follow up since day one is the key for anyone to feel good and motivated to start their new journey in strength.

That is why, at Servdebt, the entire welcoming process is carefully thought out so that people feel integrated and part of the company from the first day. From the presentation of our mission, vision and values ​​to the discovery of the benefits we offer, the role of the host is to be a mix of «Elastic Woman» with «Mr. Incredible» so that the experience is unforgettable.

There are always insecurities on the first day: «Will I like it? What if I get lost on my way to the scullery? How will I be introduced to my future team?». Issues that need to be addressed with the greatest possible effectiveness combined with a beautiful and warm smile (visible even with a mask).

The word "Welcome" remains one of our favorites. It is a sign of a new beginning, of opportunity and that the best is always to come.
