Welcome to episode forty-five of the SaaS Backwards podcast, where we interview CEOs and CMOs of fast-growing SaaS firms to reveal what they are doing that's working, and lessons learned from things that didn't work as planned.

If you’ve had the experience working with a large company, day one consists of paperwork--lots of it--and it contributes to a poor first impression.
Simply increasing the percentage of people that accept offers and actually start work would have a massive bottom-line impact.
And it’s not just day one. Research shows that what happens in the first 90 days of an employee’s tenure plays a big role in retention.
It’s hard for the all-in-one HR software behemoths to be experts at every component an HR team must solve, but so is getting traction as a best-of-breed startup.
That’s the situation CEO Mike Ehrle walked into a year ago at Click Boarding, a SaaS that’s an employee experience platform and provides modern compliant HR solutions to impact higher growth and retention rates.
In this episode, Ehrle sheds some light on his experience with:
- Fixing internal issues and transforming to a collaborative culture
- Dealing with unforeseen issues he missed in his due diligence (like development staff located in Ukraine prior to Russia’s invasion)
- The need for product and business expertise to build key relationships in target accounts.
