The picture in Austria

Onboarding today. What has changed.

Three points that come up in every intro call.

01
Early turnover

A failed onboarding costs one annual salary.

Early resignations are more common in the Austrian mid-market than most companies care to admit. Every early exit costs time, recruiting budget, and trust. That makes structured onboarding one of the most effective HR measures there is.

02
SMB reality

In companies without an HR team, onboarding often happens on the side.

A dedicated HR function often doesn't exist. New team members get the keys, a brief introduction, and a list of passwords. A lot of it is improvised, and that is exactly where AI can help quickly.

03
EU AI Act

New team members today also learn how to work with AI.

The EU AI Act makes AI competence mandatory. Companies that build it in during onboarding create clarity from day one, instead of paying to fix it later. New team members learn not only processes and tools, but also how to use AI responsibly.

Three paths

How we support you today.

Depending on who you are and what you need right now.

Intro call

15-minute intro call.

We listen to where your onboarding loses retention today, and tell you straight which step makes sense now. If none does, we say that too. That has been the Hill tradition since 1975.
