Case Study: Cornerstone reduces pre-day 1 dropout by 80% with Enboarder

Cornerstone cuts pre-day 1 dropout by 80% with Enboarder

Cornerstone, a global HR technology company, needed a more consistent and scalable way to onboard 750+ new hires each year across 26 countries. Its process was fragmented across emails, manual follow-ups, and regional differences, creating confusion for new hires, heavy administrative work for the People Services team, and an inconsistent first-day experience. Cornerstone turned to Enboarder, using its onboarding platform to centralize and automate communications, tasks, and manager touchpoints.

With Enboarder, Cornerstone redesigned the full onboarding journey from offer acceptance through the first weeks on the job, including preboarding, IT workflows, DocuSign integration, and tailored experiences for new hires, managers, and the People team. The result was an 80% reduction in candidate dropout in India, a 10-point increase in new-hire engagement over time, and an average onboarding rating of 4.52/5. Cornerstone also reported an immediate 5.4-point lift in engagement for employees with less than one year of tenure.
