Client
The client is a fast-growing startup specializing in innovative consumer electronics. Their high-quality, affordable, and uniquely designed products have resonated strongly with consumers, driving significant demand in the market. As they expand into new cities and countries, their rapid growth and increasing profitability have solidified their position as one of the most promising tech startups.
The Problem
Despite excelling in product development and marketing, the client encountered challenges as they expanded into new markets. While they were able to find skilled and capable talent, the real issue lay in their onboarding process, which was not as efficient as their hiring efforts. The process was time-consuming, which slowed their overall progress. Although they made several attempts to streamline it, these efforts proved unsuccessful. To address these challenges and implement an effective solution, they turned to GenesisNGN for expertise.
The Research
To fully understand the challenges the client was facing with their onboarding process, GenesisNGN deployed a dedicated research team.
This team conducted an in-depth analysis of the client’s current onboarding methods, workflows, and employee feedback. They identified several key bottlenecks, including a lack of structured training materials, inconsistent onboarding experiences across different regions, and the absence of tools that could simplify the process for both HR and new employees.
Additionally, the rapid expansion into new markets highlighted the need for a scalable solution that could maintain consistency and efficiency in onboarding, regardless of location. These insights provided a clearer picture of the root causes behind the time-consuming and ineffective onboarding process.
The Solution
Armed with these findings, GenesisNGN designed an AI-powered onboarding platform tailored specifically to the client’s needs. The platform was built to streamline and automate key aspects of the onboarding process, enabling new hires to quickly understand their roles, responsibilities, and the company culture. Key features of the platform include:
- Interactive Learning Modules: Customized to each department, these modules helped new employees gain a clear understanding of their roles and tasks from day one.
- AI-Powered Training Assistance: The platform used AI to offer personalized guidance, answer common questions, and provide step-by-step support during the onboarding phase, reducing the need for manual intervention from HR.

- Progress Tracking and Feedback: Both HR and managers could track the onboarding progress of new employees, allowing for real-time feedback and adjustments to the onboarding experience.
This solution not only reduced the time spent on onboarding but also improved employee retention by ensuring new hires felt supported and engaged from the very beginning.
