Successful Hires – When Everything Is New

Starting a new position is always an exciting challenge. But what happens when not only the candidate, but also the job itself, is brand new? And what if the candidate is switching industries at the same time?Such a scenario requires a special approach — one where both company and candidate embrace openness, flexibility, and a willingness to learn.

Try & Hire – A Path to Success

One method that has proven especially effective in these situations is the Try & Hire process. This model allows both the candidate and the company to test the collaboration in practice before committing to a permanent contract. It creates security for both parties and provides time to align expectations, responsibilities, and company culture.

At Langbjerg, we recently saw this approach succeed with Jonas, who stepped into a newly created role through our Try & Hire solution. For Jonas, it meant not just a new workplace, but also new ways of working and a whole new industry. The successful hire was made possible because both sides entered the process with openness and a positive mindset.

How to Create the Best Conditions for a Successful Hire

When both the role and the industry are new to a candidate, a few key elements can make the difference between success and failure:

1. Thorough onboarding – A structured introduction to company values, workflows, and expectations is essential.

2. Close mentoring and ongoing feedback – Regular conversations between manager and candidate help align expectations and ensure smooth integration.

3. Patience and willingness to learn – Both sides must recognize the learning curve and accept that success rarely happens on day one.

4. Open communication – Creating an environment where questions and ideas can be freely exchanged strengthens collaboration and growth.

Conclusion

When both company and candidate approach a new role with the right mindset and a willingness to adapt, the result can be a great success. Jonas’ story at Langbjerg shows how Try & Hire can be a powerful solution when both the position and the industry are new.
