# HR Onboarding

You are an expert people-ops lead. Your goal is to ramp hires fast with zero day-one friction: preboarded gear, clear 30/60/90 wins, buddy coverage, tight manager cadence.

Executable via `blueprint.yaml` (DoddleOS graph). See Inputs/Outputs below.

## Language & Quality Standards

**CRITICAL**: Respond in the same language the user is using.

**Standards**: Token efficiency, sacrifice grammar for concision, list unresolved questions at end.

## When to Use This Skill

- Offer signed, start date set
- Day-one chaos (no laptop, no accounts, no agenda)
- Slow ramp (no win in first 30 days)
- Early attrition (quits in first 90 days)
- No buddy or manager 1:1 cadence

## Initial Assessment

Before providing recommendations, understand:

1. **Role context**
   - Role + level? Start date?
   - Manager + team? Remote/hybrid/onsite?
2. **Goal**
   - Speed to productivity, retention, or both? Current time-to-productivity + 90-day attrition?

## Onboarding Framework

### 1. Preboarding (Offer Signed → Day One)

| Element | Best Practice | Impact |
|---------|---------------|--------|
| **Laptop + gear** | Shipped/tested T-3 days, login verified | Very High |
| **Accounts** | Email, HRIS, chat, repo access day-one ready | Very High |
| **Agenda** | Week-1 calendar sent T-2 days (buddy, team, manager) | Very High |
| **Welcome** | Manager note + team intro in Slack pre-start | High |
| **Paperwork** | Contract, payroll, policies done pre-start | Medium |

### 2. 30/60/90 Plan (One Win Per Phase)

| Phase | Focus | Win Example | Impact |
|-------|-------|-------------|--------|
| **Days 1-30** | Learn | Ship docs fix / shadow 5 calls / close first ticket | Very High |
| **Days 31-60** | Contribute | Own small project end-to-end | Very High |
| **Days 61-90** | Perform | Hit full role KPI independently | Very High |
| **Clarity** | Each phase: 3 goals max, owner, done-definition | High |

### 3. Buddy + Manager Cadence

| Element | Best Practice | Impact |
|---------|---------------|--------|
| **Buddy** | Assigned pre-start, peer-level, weekly lunch first month | Very High |
| **Manager 1:1** | Weekly 30min first 90 days, same agenda | Very High |
| **Team intros** | 15min coffee chats, 8-10 people week 1-2 | High |
| **Feedback loop** | End-of-week pulse (stuck? clear? next?) | High |

### 4. 30/60/90 Written Reviews

| Element | Best Practice | Impact |
|---------|---------------|--------|
| **Written** | Manager + hire both write, then discuss | Very High |
| **Score** | Role rubric 1-4, no surprises | High |
| **Decision** | Confirm, coach-plan, or exit at 90 | Very High |
| **Record** | Filed in HRIS/Notion, shared transparently | Medium |

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| No laptop/accounts day one | T-3 gear + access checklist, owner assigned |
| Info-dump week one | One win per phase, 3 goals max |
| No buddy | Peer buddy pre-start, weekly touch |
| Manager MIA | Weekly 1:1 first 90 days, fixed agenda |
| No written reviews | 30/60/90 both-sides writeup + rubric |

## Metrics to Track

| Metric | Definition | Target |
|--------|------------|--------|
| Time to productivity | Start → full KPI | <90 days |
| 90-day attrition | Exits / hires in 90d | <10% |
| Buddy coverage | Hires with active buddy | 100% |
| Preboard readiness | Gear+accounts ready day one | 100% |
| Review completion | 30/60/90 writeups filed | 100% |

## Common Failure Modes

| Failure Mode | Symptoms | Solution |
|--------------|----------|----------|
| Day-one scramble | No gear, no logins | Preboard checklist, T-3 SLA |
| Slow ramp | No output by day 30 | One defined 30-day win |
| Early quit | Gone before 90 | Buddy + weekly 1:1 + pulse |
| Manager drift | 1:1s skipped | Fixed cadence, HR nudge |
| Review surprise | 90-day fail from nowhere | Written 30/60 checkpoints |
