Onboarding hub

Give every new hire a first 90 days worth remembering.

A branded, personalised hub your company runs for its own new starters, from the day they accept the offer through their first year. One place to go, one consistent voice, and a journey they can actually see themselves progressing through. We set it up with your team, and your team stays in control of it afterwards.

Other hub options
● Who it’s for

Built for everyone around the new starter, not just the new starter.

  • A journey, not a checklist — content that adapts by role, team and location, phased from the offer letter through month three.
  • Progress they can actually see — a visible journey tracker and milestones, so onboarding feels like momentum, not admin.
  • COMING SOON: An optional assistant that knows your hub — instant answers to "who do I ask about X", trained only on your own content.
  • Nudges that make things happen — automatic reminders for managers and buddies, not just another task for the new hire.
  • Built by your team, not an agency — add, edit or retire content yourselves, no dev ticket required.
  • Connected to the systems you already run — new-hire data flows in from your HRIS, and provisioning triggers fire automatically.
  • See what's working — completion rates, drop-off points and time-to-productivity, by role, team or hiring manager.
Example onboarding hub: a personalised welcome page showing the new starter’s journey progress, key people, company introductions and new-starter essentials.
● The journey

One journey, from offer to fully ramped.

Preboarding starts the moment an offer is accepted, so new starters arrive informed rather than anxious. From there the journey runs through the first week, month and quarter, and keeps going long after.

Phase 1

Preboarding

Contract, equipment and access sorted before day one arrives.

Phase 2

Week one

Meet the team, get set up, and know exactly what’s expected.

Phase 3

Month one

Real work begins: shadowing, first projects, early wins.

Phase 4

First quarter

Goals are set and progress is reviewed.

Phase 5

Beyond

Ongoing development, internal mobility and, if you want it, your alumni network.

● What’s inside

Everything your onboarding needs, none of the busywork.

Personalised from day one

  • A personal welcome page with an optional intro video from a company leader and clear first steps.
  • Options for role, department, seniority and location-based content paths. Different people see different content, not just a different name at the top.
  • COMING SOON: Optional AI assistant trained only on your hub’s own content, so questions like “who do I ask about payroll?” get an instant answer instead of an email to HR.
  • Support-team, leadership and key-stakeholder profiles, so new starters know who’s who from the start.
  • Your organisation, brands and culture in one place, alongside a searchable library of documents and video, including “coming soon” content for what unlocks later.

Engagement that holds

  • A visible journey tracker with milestones, progress and badges, so onboarding feels like momentum rather than admin.
  • Short pulse check-ins at the end of week one, day 30 and day 90, feeding a live dashboard instead of a one-off survey.
  • Buddy and mentor matching, with automatic prompts such as “book a coffee with Sam this week”.
  • Task automation for managers and buddies: auto-assigned, with reminders by email, Slack or Teams, so the work doesn’t all land on the new starter.
  • Nudges that flag a stalled journey or low engagement early, so HR or the manager can step in.
