Prompt Template
Build a comprehensive onboarding checklist for a new [ROLE — e.g., software engineer / account executive / product manager] joining [COMPANY_NAME]. Onboarding period: [ONBOARDING_DURATION — e.g., first 30/60/90 days]. Company context: [COMPANY_CONTEXT — size, stage, team structure]. Organize the checklist by timeline with these phases: (1) Before Day 1 — actions for HR/manager to complete (equipment, access, welcome message), (2) Day 1 — orientation priorities that help the new hire feel welcomed and oriented (meetings, accounts, tour), (3) Week 1 — foundational knowledge and relationships to establish, (4) Days 8–30 — deeper product/process learning and first contributions, (5) Days 31–60 — increasing ownership and delivering first solo work (if [ONBOARDING_DURATION] is 60+ days), (6) Days 61–90 — operating independently and setting 90-day goals (if applicable). For each item, include: the task, who owns it (new hire vs. manager vs. HR vs. buddy), and a checkbox format. Add a "Success at 30/60/90 days looks like..." section defining measurable outcomes.
