After an intense hiring process, the journey of a new joiner is a wonderful adventure - hop on the rocket with us! 🚀.
If you are already in the recruitment process at Alan, if you have made it through or if you consider applying, you will know that the process is demanding - and there’s a reason for that!
We have made a vow to keep our talent density high so we can become the one-stop health partner for the body & the mind 💪.
When you have received an offer from us, you are already an Alaner. We are excited to have you on board! There is no need to prove yourself further - you have done that through our challenging recruitment process ⚡️.
From your first day, you will immediately be viewed as an Alaner. You are one of us and we trust your skills and drive from the get-go.
That translates into an unorthodox onboarding mindset: we have a strong culture that we are proud of! The main expectation of your first 6 weeks at Alan is to submerge yourself in the culture and get familiar with the Alan Way of doing things.
You will be guided gently by your dedicated support system to navigate our culture, our leadership principles and to get introduced to the people who will help you grow into your new role - but the ownership of your onboarding is completely yours! That translates into you taking a proactive role in seeking out knowledge, challenging positively, setting your first deliverables and reaching out to Alaners you think would be great to get acquainted with.
As mentioned above, the onboarding process is meant to empower you - but you are of course never alone. At Alan, you will be supported with an outstanding onboarding pathway who will help you succeed and ramp up. The onboarding pathway consists of:
Continuous feedback is the backbone of our culture. Everyone in the team is required to be open and transparent about problems they’re facing and share ideas they care about. We have a culture built on trust and your ideas will always be well-received and encouraged. All Alaners are also benevolent feedback-givers.
Apart from our bi-annual company-wide reviews, we also have official Onboarding Reviews.
At both your 2 and 4 month mark at Alan, you will select 3 Alaners (plus your coach) to review you - and you will review yourself as well. Here, you can reflect and transparently share what your achievements have been, what has been going well, what are your areas of improvement and where your next focus should be.
This is the perfect time to share everything with your support system who will in turn share their point of view - it may sound scary to be officially reviewed, but Alaners are always constructive in their feedback. Our aim is to affirm what is going well and to help you overcome any difficulties you may face settling into your new role.
Alan is an async, remote-first company. We strongly recommend that you come to our delightful Valmy office (in Paris) or to the nearest co-working place in your first days and in a few more occasions to connect with your team and meet some great Alaners. Of course, you can still choose to onboard from the comfort of your own home - the choice is yours.
Before your first Alan day you will:
In your first week:
We’re super excited by the prospect of having you join Alan! We’re on an incredible journey together and are truly building something exceptional 💪.
