About Dawn Darr

When you onboard a new hire at the office, you set them up for success. You show them where to park, introduce them to their colleagues, show them the ropes of the company culture… But when you relocate an employee… How are you onboarding them into their new life? Chasing Dragons works with leading companies in the WDC region to attract and retain great talent by caring for the people you’re relocating. Our Ambassadors work directly with your candidates, new hires, employees, and their families, to help them navigate selecting and settling-in the vibrant, diverse and amenity-rich neighborhoods of the Washington D.C. area. We schedule a deep-dive conversation to identify each family’s priorities, then we introduce them to communities, arts, music, fitness, green space, schools, teachers and faith communities they care about. We make introductions to individuals who can help shape their new life or share similar interests. And we connect them with the coaches, doctors, school principals, and contractors they’ll rely on day to day. We help them feel at home before they even get here. The result: Your top candidates and employees are 85% more likely to accept the job if we’ve participated in your recruiting process. Their families are more likely to move with them. They’re far more likely to stay, because they feel at home and so do the people they love. And you get to keep the key talent you worked so hard to recruit. Some of the innovative, employee-focused companies we work with include: Nestlé US, Gerber, Custom Ink, BAE Systems and KeyBank.
