About This Prompt

This prompt produces a complete 30-60-90 day onboarding plan for a new hire: a checklist of what must be ready before day one, a day-by-day first week with one small real task to finish by Friday, and goals plus a measurable sign of success for each 30-day phase. It also sets up a buddy, gives the manager questions for each check-in, and adds day-30 and day-90 feedback surveys so the onboarding itself improves with every hire. The plan adapts to remote, hybrid or on-site work and keeps the first week light so the new hire is not overwhelmed. Ideal for HR teams, people operations, and managers preparing for a new team member.

Variables to Customize


[ROLE]

The new hire's role and the team they are joining

Example: Marketing Operations Specialist joining a four-person growth marketing team


[DAY_90_GOALS]

What they should be able to do independently by day 90

Example: Run the weekly email campaign end to end, own the lead-scoring rules in HubSpot, and report monthly funnel metrics to the marketing lead


[TOOLS]

The main tools and systems they will use

Example: HubSpot, Google Workspace, Slack, Looker Studio, Asana


[KEY_PEOPLE]

The colleagues they will work with most

Example: Marketing lead (manager), content writer, sales ops analyst, and a buddy from the demand-gen team


[WORK_SETUP]

Remote, hybrid or on-site, and time zones if relevant

Tips for Best Results

Send the pre-day-one checklist to IT and the manager at least a week ahead; missing laptops and accounts are the most common first-day failures
Give the new hire one real, finishable task in week one; an early win does more for confidence than a stack of reading
Paste the plan into a shared Google Doc and turn the check-ins into recurring calendar events so nothing depends on memory
