New hires get a real first week, built from your own SOPs

Onboarding docs are written twice a year and stale by the third hire. The knowledge exists: it is spread across your SOPs, your tools, and the head of whoever onboarded last.

Your Squad teammate assembles a first week per hire, per role. It pulls from your actual SOPs in Notion and Docs, cites what it uses, and says where a gap exists instead of inventing. The account checklist goes to IT as one tidy ticket, and the intro messages come drafted from the teammate's inbox.

The plan improves itself. What the last three hires in this role actually asked in week one goes to memory, and the next plan answers those questions up front.

How it runs
01
It triggers on the hire

Role, team, start date. The build starts the moment the hire is confirmed; no template to dust off.

02
The plan cites your docs

Every section links the SOP it came from. A gap becomes a named question for the manager, not a made-up answer.

03
Accounts become one ticket

Every tool the role needs, who grants it, and the request drafted. IT approves the batch in one tap instead of eleven pings.

04
Intros come drafted

The welcome note, the team announcement, the buddy intro, each from the teammate's inbox, held for your approval.

05
Day one is ready and filed

The plan and checklist sit in Docs, shared with the new hire before their first morning. Week-one questions get folded into the next hire's plan.

What lands on your desk
Day one, as the new hire sees it
WELCOME, SAM — YOUR FIRST WEEK

Today: accounts are ready (list below). Read the two pages that
explain how we work: 'How we ship' and 'Who owns what' (linked,
from our real SOPs). 30-min walk-through with Ria at 2:00.

This week: shadow the Tuesday release, own one small ticket by
Thursday, meet the five people on your account list.

Open question for your manager (not invented): the deploy-access
SOP predates the new pipeline. Confirm which half still applies.
What you get
  • A per-role plan for every hire, cited from your real SOPs.
  • Account requests batched into one approvable ticket.
  • SOP gaps surfaced as questions, never papered over.
  • Plans that improve with every hire, from memory.

Your first month
Day 0

A hire is confirmed. The build starts from your real SOPs.

Day 1

The plan cites eleven docs and asks two questions where the SOPs contradict. The IT ticket lists every account in one place.

Week 1

The new hire's actual week-one questions get folded into the plan for next time.

Month 1

The third hire's plan is noticeably better than the first — and nobody rewrote anything by hand.
