From a HR or Candidate point of view. Lets say candidate signs offer letter. Has to give 2-4 weeks notice.
Now what? Does HR keep in touch with candidate?
Some offers they do background checks, reference checks all before offer is made and letter just says show up on the start date with Photo ID or SS card or whatever.
Is there any type of engagement done by HR or Mgt during this period?

There is no set rule or even common practice. During that "notice" period, I will offer the person selected the opportunity to come in and meet their co-workers, get a tour of the offices, see their workstation, and answer questions if they can get here during business hours, right before or after. Other than that, there is no contact until the day they start.

Sounds good I guess on paper. I guess it depends how long the delay in start date is. Also how good company is and how generous offer is. In particular college graduates and MBA students sometimes gets offer 3 months ahead of time. I heard on average 15% never show up on the start date.
So I felt distanced from the company and decided to rescind the offer. Then all at once senior management calls me up to get me to re-sign. So now I am important. Anyhow they threw in a $50,000 signing bonus to resign and a bit of a raise. Goes to show it is a hot market.
