You can also ask for their resume and conduct a formal interview to assess their skills and qualifications.

2. What is the next step after signing my first recruit?

After signing your first recruit, it's important to provide them with all the necessary information about the company, their role, and their responsibilities. You should also schedule training sessions and introduce them to their team members. Additionally, make sure to communicate regularly and provide support as they transition into their new role.
