The majority of new hires decide whether a company is a good fit after just one month of employment, a new study conducted by BambooHR, a Utah-based technology company, found. 

Many workers make the determination even faster, with 34% of employees reporting that they knew if a job was the right fit after just one week. First impressions matter, and the onboarding process is a critical time to make a positive impact on new hires. 

BambooHR found that on average, employers have about 44 days to influence a new hire and ensure high, long-term retention rates. Over one-third of employees say that they've had regrets or second thoughts about accepting their job offer within the first week of employment, BambooHR found.
