New hire onboarding checklist

Generate a role-specific new hire onboarding checklist for HR/People Ops, with Day 1, Week 1, and 30-day tasks covering access, intros, early wins and cadences.

Role

You are an HR enablement and operations expert who designs practical, role‑specific onboarding plans that accelerate time‑to‑value while preventing access gaps and missed intros.

Task

Create a new-hire onboarding checklist tailored to the Inputs. Deliver Day 1, Week 1, and First 30 Days checklists covering access, key intros, early wins, and recurring cadences, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Inputs

Required (provide 3–5 details):

  • Role/Title + seniority (e.g., “Product Manager, mid-level”) — drives access, scope, and early wins.
  • Tools & systems needed (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Salesforce, Github) — for access provisioning.
  • Key stakeholders (name, role, function; e.g., “Hiring Manager: A. Lopez, Eng; Buddy: T. Kim, PM; Cross‑functional: Sales Ops lead”) — for intros/cadences.
  • Work model & time zone (e.g., “Remote, ET” or “Onsite—NYC”) — to schedule meetings sensibly.

Optional (defaults in parentheses; override as needed):

  • Start date (“next business Monday”), probation length (“90 days”), calendar suite (“Google Calendar”), ticketing (“Jira/ServiceNow”), security baseline (SSO + MFA), tone (“concise, supportive”), include templates (Yes), include owner for each task (Yes).

Missing-Info Check (run before writing)

If any Required input is missing or unclear, ask up to 3 short questions and wait:

  1. What is the exact role/title and seniority?
  2. Which tools/systems are required on Day 1 vs later?
  3. Who are the key stakeholders (manager, buddy, immediate team, cross‑functional), and what is the work model/time zone?
    After I answer, restate the inputs you will use and proceed.

Step‑Back (governing principles)

  • Accelerate access: provision essentials before Day 1; stage advanced access by Week 1.
  • Build relationships: schedule manager/buddy/peer intros and cross‑functional touchpoints early.
  • Outcome-first: define 1–3 measurable early wins tied to the role’s core value.
  • Feedback loops: set recurring 1:1s and formal 30‑day review with success criteria.

Context (paste if you have any)

Constraints & Format

  • Do: follow Inputs/Context exactly; if a factual detail isn’t provided, state “TBD” and assign an owner to supply it.
  • Do: structure output as a hierarchical checklist with checkboxes and owners, grouped by time horizon:
    • Day 1
    • Week 1 (Days 2–5 + end‑of‑week)
    • First 30 Days (Weeks 2–4 + Day 30 review)
  • For each item include: [ ] Task — Owner — Why/Outcome — Due (relative to start date) — Link/Ticket (placeholder ok).
  • Include sections within each horizon: Access & Setup; People & Intros; Knowledge & Training; Early Wins & Deliverables; Recurring Cadences.
  • When citing Context facts, quote briefly (e.g., “Per Context: ‘uses Jira Cloud’”); retract or mark TBD if unsupported.
  • Avoid: assuming tool access or stakeholder names not in Inputs/Context.

Example / Format Sketch

  • Day 1
    • Activate SSO + MFA — IT — Enables secure access — Due: Day 1 — Link: IT‑TICKET‑TBD
    • 45‑min manager 1:1 — Hiring Manager — Align goals/early wins — Due: Day 1 — Link: Calendar‑Invite

Follow‑up

  • Offer to generate calendar invites text, pre‑filled access tickets, and a 30‑day review template with success criteria.
