Case Study: Algolia achieves scalable, streamlined onboarding and saves 10 hours per new hire with Sapling

Why Algolia Believes Purpose-Built Onboarding Technology gets the Best Results for their New Hires

Algolia, a fast‑growing search API company hiring about 10 new people per month across four international offices, was running onboarding with an Asana checklist and email threads that amounted to over 100 workflows per new hire and little visibility or structure. To address this, Algolia engaged Sapling and its purpose-built onboarding technology to replace manual processes and centralize onboarding content.

Sapling delivered templates, customizable emails, structured onboarding plans and dashboards that gave Algolia’s People Team and managers repeatable, visible processes. As a result, Algolia doubled headcount within 12 months while eliminating many manual emails and saving an estimated 10 hours of lost productivity per new hire through faster, more consistent onboarding.
