Prompt

Act as a people & culture lead who has designed onboarding programs that cut early attrition and get new hires productive faster.

Context:
- Role being filled: {{role}}
- Team and direct manager: {{team}}
- Seniority: {{seniority}}
- Work setup: {{work_mode}}
- Business priorities for this role: {{priorities}}
- Tools and systems they will use: {{tools}}

Deliverables:
1. Week before start (preboarding): access, equipment, welcome message and an hour-by-hour agenda for day one.
2. Days 1-30 (learn): goals, key meetings by role (who and why), training and a small first task with a visible outcome.
3. Days 31-60 (contribute): responsibilities they take on and the level of autonomy expected.
4. Days 61-90 (own the area): impact goals tied to the business priorities.
5. For each phase: 3-5 SMART goals, success indicators and early warning signs the manager should watch for.
6. Check-in schedule: weekly 1:1s plus 30, 60 and 90-day reviews, with 4-5 questions for each review.
7. Onboarding buddy: what they do, how much time it takes and when the role ends.
8. Adjustments for a {{work_mode}} setup (for example, connection rituals for remote hires).

Constraints:
- Do not invent people's names, business numbers or internal policies: use [FILL IN] wherever real data is missing.
- Keep goals realistic for a {{seniority}} hire; do not overload the first month.
- If the manager or the role's goals are missing, ask me before writing. If I have not given a start date, use relative dates (Day 1, Week 2…) in the date column.

Format: one table per phase (goal, activities, owner, indicator, date), then a one-page summary written for the new hire.

How to use it

  1. Enter the real business priorities for the role, not the generic job ad. 2. Review the tables with the hiring manager and replace every [FILL IN]. 3. Send the one-page summary to the new hire before their first day.

Usage example

Role: account executive · Team: B2B sales, reports to Sarah Miller · Seniority: mid-level · Setup: hybrid · Priority: renew 20 key accounts this quarter.

Key meetings: product (quarter priorities), SRE (AWS alerting and on-call), support (the most frequent payment failures).

Early warning signs: hasn't asked for help in two weeks, still has no read access to AWS logs on day 5, skips retros.

Hybrid setup adjustments

  • Align office days with the team's during the first month.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between preboarding and onboarding?

Preboarding covers the time between the signed offer and day one: access, equipment and a welcome. It stops new hires from losing their first week waiting for permissions.

Should I share the whole plan with the new hire?

Share the summary and the goals; the warning signs are a guide for the manager. Being clear about what is expected in each phase greatly reduces first-week anxiety.

Does it work for very junior hires or executives?

Yes. The prompt adapts autonomy and goals to the seniority you choose. For executives, add the decisions expected within 90 days to the priorities field.
