How does HiPeople develop Knowledge Bites?

To explain how a Knowledge Bite works, it is best to have a look at an example. For this example, let's say that a reference giver has described the candidate's work style as "positive". Once you click upon this response in the HiPeople dashboard, you will see the following Knowledge Bite:

🤩 Positive

Positive colleagues are usually enthusiastic about work. This makes them motivated self-starters who don’t need much to get started on a new task. They also transfer their cheerful attitude to others, encourage them, and quickly build new relationships.

• Positive colleagues enjoy spending time with others. Most probably, they will thank you for an onboarding buddy or mentor who is talkative and outgoing.
• Informal events such as team lunches or coffee dates are great for building new relationships. Let the candidate shine and set up some informal event(s) for them!
• Let positive colleagues spread their enthusiasm by assigning them first tasks that enable them to interact with as many different people and functions as possible.
