OnboardFlow

Structured onboarding checklists that turn new hires productive in half the time.

The Problem

New employee onboarding at most companies is a chaotic mix of forgotten logins, stale wikis, and "ask Sarah" tribal knowledge. HR sends a welcome email and hopes for the best. It takes 3-6 months for new hires to feel productive.

The Solution

A checklist-driven onboarding platform. Create role-specific tracks (engineer, PM, designer) with tasks, deadlines, and owners. Automated Slack reminders for both the new hire and their manager. Track completion and time-to-productivity.

Competitive Landscape

BambooHR and Rippling have onboarding features but are full HRIS platforms ($8-15/employee/month). Process.st handles checklists but is not HR-specific. A focused onboarding tool at $3/employee/month has room.

Why Now?

Hiring slowed after 2022-2023 layoffs, so each hire matters more. Companies are investing in making onboarding effective rather than hiring more people.
