#134 First Impressions Matter: Onboarding Success

About this episode

The episode discusses the journey of Earthlight Technologies and the importance of effective onboarding and talent acquisition strategies.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sam Schneider, CEO, and co-founder of Earthlight Technologies. Sam and I dove into the incredible journey of how he and his family grew. A small light bulb shop into 160 person renewable energy powerhouse with the locations across Connecticut. Massachusetts and Oregon. We talked about what it means to build a generational company, how Earthlight moved into solar and battery storage, and how hiring, including bringing in his sister to lead HR initiatives completely transformed their onboarding and talent acquisition strategy.
