Build a Better Onboarding
From New Hire Voices
First-week impressions make or break retention. Hear what new employees experience, struggle with, and need — before small frustrations become big problems.
The Scenario
New hires won't complain to their manager in the first week. But give them a private voice form and they'll say: "Nobody told me how to submit expenses, the Slack channels are overwhelming, and I still don't have access to Jira after 3 days." That's fixable — if you hear about it.
💡 Who is this for?
HR teams, people ops, managers of growing teams, and any company where new hire attrition is a concern.
Create Your Form
- "How has your first week been? What stood out?"
- "What's been confusing or unclear so far?"
- "Do you have everything you need to do your job? What's missing?"
- "How would you rate the onboarding experience so far?"
Voice & AI Settings
AI clusters onboarding feedback into themes: access/tools issues, communication gaps, documentation gaps, culture impressions. Track improvements sprint over sprint.
Embed on Your Website
Best widget: Auto-Trigger or Direct Link
Send the voice form link on Day 3, Day 7, and Day 30 of each new hire's onboarding. Use Auto-Trigger on your internal wiki or onboarding portal.
Track & Analyze Responses
Identify the #1 onboarding complaint each quarter using AI Insights. Fix it, then check next quarter if it drops. This creates a continuous improvement cycle for your onboarding process.
Automate Your Workflow
- Zapier: Trigger the feedback form 3 days after the HRIS start date
- Slack: Alert the new hire's buddy and manager about submitted feedback
- Webhooks: Push to your people analytics dashboard
- CRM contacts: Track each employee's onboarding feedback journey
Third-Party Integration
Integrate with your HRIS (BambooHR, Gusto, Rippling) to automatically trigger forms based on hire date. Pre-fill department, role, and start date for segmented analysis.
Pro Tips
Check in at multiple milestones
Day 3 (logistics), Day 7 (team integration), Day 30 (productivity and fit). Different issues emerge at different stages.
