What kind of content should be be posting on our social media pages? How can we market our crowdfunding campaign using social media? What kind of perks should we have for the campaign that would get people to donate to us?

We are a small start up in the fintech industry that is looking for students to develop a HR policy manual for our Company Bluethumb Technologies. Students should be prepared to: Research existing onboarding practices to determine their effectiveness and opportunities for improvement. Research the onboarding practices of competitors. Research what onboarding components are most impactful for new employees. Use benchmarking to determine wages, benefits and other forms of employee compensation.

The focus on the manual would be on diversity and inclusion, which is at the core of our company's values.
