Mix rating scale questions (1-5) with open-ended questions. Keep to 10 questions total.

The Onboarding Toolkit

For each role in your company, use AI to generate:

1. Pre-start welcome email
2. Day 1 checklist
3. 30-day onboarding plan
4. Role-specific training guide
5. New hire FAQ
6. 30/60/90-day check-in templates

Generate all six in one AI session, save as templates, and reuse. Update quarterly as tools and processes change.

Time savings: Creating an onboarding toolkit from scratch takes 4-6 hours per role. With AI, it takes about 45 minutes including customization. For a company hiring across 10 different roles, that’s 40+ hours saved.

Good onboarding reduces turnover. AI makes good onboarding scalable.
