    McAfee

    RedCarpet Case Study

    Prior to RedCarpet, McAfee's onboarding process began by sending a binder out to each new employee. The binders included new hire paperwork, forms, and reference materials. Each binder was shipped via FedEx to the employee. When asked how they would have handled this process for 1000 employees, Gillette said, "It would not have been an impossible task. Sending out the binders would not have been a problem because we could outsource that. The problem would have been on the data management side when everything came back in."
