Onboarding Assistants for New Employees

How does it work?

Onboarding Assistants handle the questions that flood HR inboxes and Slack channels during a new hire's first weeks. Ask questions like:

• How do I set up direct deposit for my paycheck?
• What's the process for requesting PTO?
• Where do I find the brand guidelines for my team?
• Who do I contact about laptop issues?
• What tools do I need access to as a sales rep?
• When is the next benefits enrollment period?
• What's the policy on remote work?
• Where can I find the engineering team's coding standards?

The Assistant pulls from HR documents, team wikis, onboarding checklists, and internal FAQs to give new hires answers instantly—without waiting for someone to get back to them.

Who uses Onboarding Assistants for New Employees?

Onboarding Assistants are built for anyone involved in bringing new employees up to speed:

• New hires navigating their first weeks and needing quick answers without interrupting colleagues
• HR teams fielding repetitive questions about policies, benefits, and procedures
• Managers ensuring direct reports have the resources they need to ramp quickly
• People Operations scaling onboarding support across departments without adding headcount
