a curated experience

Think back to when you first considered a career at Sensient. Before your future position was created, we crafted a dedicated onboarding plan. Our goal in those planning stages was simple: To set you up for success and make you feel genuinely welcomed the moment you walk through the door. Our team is committed to guiding you through your first days, weeks, and months, sharing what you can expect and what defines Sensient’s ethos.

One thing that really stood out to me was the structured schedule. It made the transition much smoother and helped me meet and learn from key team members across the plant without feeling overwhelmed.

our onboarding process

Our onboarding process equips you with the knowledge and support you need to become a strong, contributing member of the team while also helping you take advantage of benefits that support your life outside of work.

job preparation

We’ll schedule training and meetings across multiple teams, including with employees, leaders, and vendors. We’ll also make sure your workspace and all applications are set up before you arrive.

benefits

The human resources team will sit down with you and walk through how to sign up for benefits based on your location. We’ll explain your options, answer questions you have, and help you feel confident in your decisions.

feedback

Your experience matters to us. We’ll consistently check in, answer questions, and help you feel connected.

The advice I would give to new hires is to be yourself, stay honest from the beginning, learn every aspect of the business and share your goals and aspirations.

other companies

Gives you an old, generic checklist to review on your own.

Two

the Sensient way

other companies

In the off chance they ask for your feedback, they just collect it and never act on it.

Three

the Sensient way

Tracks satisfaction and engagement during onboarding as part of overall employee experience metrics, rather than treating onboarding as a one-time administrative event.

other companies

Thinks of onboarding as more of a 'check the box' exercise rather that setting you up for success.

From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and supported. Most importantly, the team consistently checked in, answered questions, and helped me feel connected.
