How the Onboarding Checklists works


Choose the checklist matching your onboarding scenario. For executives, focus on strategic immersion and stakeholder meetings. For sales, emphasize product knowledge and CRM training. For technical roles, prioritize development environment and code access. Combine multiple checklists for hybrid roles. Adapt timelines: executives need 90 days, contractors may need 1 week.

One-size-fits-all onboarding fails because needs differ drastically. Executives need board access and strategic context. Sales needs pipeline and quota. Developers need repository access and architecture overview. Role-specific checklists ensure relevant tasks only. Prevents wasted time on irrelevant activities. Increases role readiness by 40%.
