The current onboarding process for new hires is inefficient and time-consuming for managers. It involves sending welcome emails, following up on tasks, and manually tracking progress, which often leads to important steps being overlooked or delayed.
This inefficiency results in a poor onboarding experience for new hires and increases the mental load on managers, founders, and HR personnel.
Pain Points
- Manually tracking onboarding progress
- Following up on incomplete tasks
- Overlooking stuck new hires
- Increased mental load for managers
- Ineffective training due to focus on tracking
I’m building a small tool around one core outcome: Managers don’t have to chase new hires to complete onboarding. Right now, onboarding often looks like this: * You send a welcome email with docs. * A few days later you’re wondering, “Did they set up Slack? Did they read the handbook?” * You send a follow-up. * You forget who you reminded. * Someone gets stuck and you only realize a week later. It becomes less about training and more about tracking and nudging. The tool I’m building automatically: * Delivers onboarding steps at the right time * Sends follow-ups if a step isn’t completed * Escalates only when someone is truly stuck The goal isn’t another dashboard it’s reducing the mental load of “who did what and what’s next.” For managers, founders, or HR folks: Would removing that chasing + tracking genuinely help you? Or is the real onboarding pain something different?
