Don't Let Great Talent Slip Away After the Handshake. Make it real with a welcome kit that reaches them before Day One. Personalised, automated, visible. Tell Me How

Trusted By Leading Companies

The joining moment is your first retention move.

 

The offer is signed, but that doesn't mean they'll join. Between signing and Day One, candidates disengage quietly and TA has little visibility. Our MerchTech approach brings structure to this phase, using personalised welcome kits before Day One to create a clear, trackable touchpoint ,without any follow-ups or coordination.

What this actually costs you

Every post-offer gap is a risk on your numbers.

Icon 1

Ghosting after offer acceptance

38% of candidates who sign never show up. No kit, no touchpoint, and a competing offer is still open.

Icon 2

Early exits on Talent Acquisition's watch

1 in 5 new hires leaves within 45 days. The joining experience decides it but most orgs leave it unmanaged.

Icon 3

Talent Acquisition Specialists stuck in kit operations

Every hour on vendor coordination is an hour not spent on hiring. Logistics is not a Talent Acquisition deliverable.

Icon 4

Generic welcome, generic signal

A PDF handbook tells your joiner they're one of many. That's the first culture signal they collect.

Icon 5

Zero visibility into what works

No tracking, no reports, until attrition data shows up months later when the damage is done.

Icon 6

Employer brand left to chance

Proud joiners post. Happy employees refer. But only when the joining moment gives them something worth sharing.

Most of what Talent Acquisition Specialists do around joining kits is manual, repetitive, and avoidable. Here is how Mandaala removes it.

4 Ways to Build a Welcome Kit That Fits You

A MerchTech platform that adapts to how your company onboards, not the other way around.

Standard-kit

Standard Kit

One pre-defined kit.
The candidate logs in, confirms their address, and it's on
its way. Simple and
consistent every time.

Best for: Steady hiring volumes.
A clean, consistent joining experience.

Automated-Kit

Automated Kit

HRMS-triggered. New hire added to your system - kit workflow starts automatically. Zero effort from Talent Acquisition or HR once it's configured.

Best for: High-volume hiring. Compliance-heavy or fast-moving Talent Acquisition teams.

Kit-Of-Choice

Kit of Choice

The candidate picks between
2-3 pre-curated kits.
Same theme, different
options. They feel heard; you
stay in control.

Best for: Offering personalisation without adding operational complexity.

Power-of-choice

Power of Choice

The candidate builds their own kit - picking from apparel, tech, drinkware, and stationery. Maximum personalisation, zero returns.

Best for: Culture-forward Talent Acquisition teams. Pre-joining engagement programmes.

FAQs

Ask Us Anything. We're Here To Help.

Sorry Mandaala, we have a vendor already!

Vendors can print and ship. What they cannot do is automate triggers, enable candidate self-selection, integrate with your HRMS, manage grade-based tiering, or give you live tracking. You can run both, or transition fully. Either way, the manual coordination disappears.


We don't hire much. Is Mandaala worth it for low hiring volume?

If you hire 50+ people a year across locations, manual coordination costs more than you realise - in Talent Acquisition hours, delayed kits, and one or two early exits that each trigger a full replacement cycle. The platform pays for itself with a single retained hire.


We're all spread out. #WorkFromAnywhere.

Pan-India delivery across 8,200+ PIN codes - metros, Tier-2, Tier-3, client sites, and home addresses. Global delivery available for international hiring. Joiners receive their kit before Day One regardless of where they are.


Can Mandaala integrate with our HRMS?

Yes. MerchTech integrates with Darwinbox, Workday, Oracle HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, and others. A new joiner added to your HRMS automatically triggers the kit workflow - no manual kick-off, no parallel spreadsheets.


How much time are we actually saving?

Most kits are delivered within 5-10 working days across India, including remote and regional areas. The only time investment is a one-time kit finalisation at setup. After that, Talent Acquisition Specialists' involvement in the joining kit workflow goes to zero.

Hear from our Happy Clients!

We had a wonderful experience partnering with Mandaala India to celebrate Diwali at Epigamia. They offered several gifting options and helped us curate a great list of gifts for our teams. We loved their extreme attention to detail and promptness with the deliveries on the ground. Not only did the gifts reach all the teams on time, but also in good condition, wrapped neatly.
