a new buddy for new hires

With endless training sessions to attend, forms to fill out, and conference rooms to memorize, it’s no wonder why bad onboarding experiences can drive new hires back onto the market. While even decent ones should not be undertaken alone, asking unfamiliar faces for help when you’re brand new can be daunting. Enter Eddie the Edelbot: the first A.I. guide designed to help new hires get around and veterans stay up to date.

Like at first tap

As soon as our HR team receives a signed offer letter, every new hire gets a welcome text from Eddie inviting them to save his page to their home screen (no app download required).

From that moment on, Eddie is just a tap away. No question is too stupid or repetitive for our Edelbot: Forgot the bathroom code? Need a gentle timesheet tap on the shoulder? Can’t decide where to eat around the office? Eddie’s your bot! 

Edelman is a smart place that’s far from stuffy, and its onboarding process should reflect that. So we made sure Eddie felt more intelligent than artificial, letting him be helpful the way a human friend would: with jokes, GIFs, and irreverence galore. Here are just some of the many things Eddie can help:

Need the bathroom PIN?

Forgot that key executive’s name?

Looking for a happy hour?

Too many free snacks?
