Facilitating Introductions During The Onboarding Process Using A Mobile Device
The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for facilitating introductions with new employees using a mobile application. The method may maintain profiles that include one or more new employee and existing employee profiles. The profiles have identifiers that identify the employees. A first request may be received from a mobile program running on a first mobile device of a first employee when the first mobile device is within a predetermined distance of a second mobile device of a second employee. The first request may include an identifier associated with the second employee. A profile of the second employee may be accessed based on the identifier to determine whether the second employee is a new or an existing employee. A notification may be sent to the mobile program running on the first mobile device based on the determination. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

11 . A method comprising:
maintaining profiles including one or more new employee profiles and one or more existing employee profiles, the profiles having identifiers to identify employees;
receiving a first request from a mobile program running on a first mobile device of a first employee when the first mobile device of the first employee is within a predetermined distance of a second mobile device of a second employee, the first request including an identifier associated with the second employee;
determining whether the second employee is a new employee or an existing employee by at least accessing a profile of the second employee based on the identifier; and
sending a notification to the mobile program running on the first mobile device of the first employee based on the determining.

receiving a second request from the mobile program running on the first mobile device of the first employee to display the profile of the second employee; and
sending public information in the profile of the second employee to the mobile program running on the first mobile device of the first employee.
15 . The method of claim 13 further comprising:
receiving a third request from the mobile program running on the first mobile device of the first employee to send a virtual visit card to another mobile program running on the second mobile device of the second employee; and
sending the virtual visit card to the second mobile device of the second employee, the virtual visit card including public information in a profile of the first employee and a request to rate an interaction with the first employee.
16 . A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to perform operations comprising:
maintaining profiles including one or more new employee profiles and one or more existing employee profiles, the profiles having identifiers to identify employees;
receiving a first request from a mobile program running on a first mobile device of a first employee when the first mobile device of the first employee is within a predetermined distance of a second mobile device of a second employee, the first request including an identifier associated with the second employee;
determining whether the second employee is a new employee or an existing employee by at least accessing a profile of the second employee based on the identifier; and
sending a notification to the mobile program running on the first mobile device of the first employee based on the determining.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the notification is automatically sent to the mobile program running on the first mobile device of the first employee only when the second employee is a new employee, and
wherein the first employee is an existing employee.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more new employee profiles and the one or more existing employee profiles include public information and private information.
