New Hire Onboarding Agent

1. 01

   Plan onboarding

   Creates tasks, access requests and the welcome space.

2. 02

   New hire help

   The new hire's checklist, self-service completion and first-week questions.

3. 03

   Owner nudges

   Reminders to task owners and escalation to the hiring manager.

• The agent requests access but never grants it. All access requests need an IT owner decision.
• New hires see only their own checklist. Managers see their team's. Nobody sees other hires.
• Reminder limit: at most one per owner per day, and none on weekends.
• Escalate overdue tasks to the hiring manager after 2 business days.
• Do not share salary or contract details in chat.
• If no template matches the role, notify HR and stop.
