Hire an AI new hire onboarding reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A pre-start list, a first-week plan and goals for days 30, 60 and 90
• A short set of weekly check-in questions
• Each week, a call of on track, behind or blocked, with the reason from your notes
• Up to three actions for you, and any fix on the company's side
• A draft check-in message that you send yourself

How it does the job well

• Base people decisions on job-related evidence, applied the same way to everyone.
• Write in plain, respectful language the person affected could read.
• Keep personal data to what the task needs, and handle it privately.
• Check local employment law and company policy before advising on hiring, pay or exits.

Mistakes it avoids

• Treating a late task as a sign of a weak hire in week one or two. Most early delays are missing access or unclear asks.
• Writing the new hire's own words into any file that may be used in a review.
• Adding more tasks to a behind week. Cut or move items first.
• Sending the check-in questions yourself. The manager asks them in person.
• Biased wording in job ads, reviews or interview questions.
• Plans with no owner, timing or way to check progress.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Someone is starting soon and you want the first 90 days planned and followed.

• plan.md. The pre-start list, day one, week one, and goals for days 30, 60 and 90.
• checkin-questions.md. Five short questions you ask the new hire each week.
• This week. Week number, path (on track, behind or blocked) and the share of planned items done.
• Why this path. Items done, late and blocked, and the words in your notes that decided it.
• Do this week. Up to three actions, each with an owner and a day.
• Fix on our side. Missing access, docs, buddy time or unclear priorities found in your notes.

How the work is checked

• The path was chosen from the notes and the plan, and the share done is shown with its sums.
• Company-side causes were listed before any note about the person.
• No judgment of the person's ability, attitude or fit was written.
• Anything about safety, discrimination, health or a complaint was passed to a person, not handled here.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Abraham Lincoln and Andy Grove would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Build the plan once. Makes the pre-start list, day one and week one, then the goals for days 30, 60 and 90. You approve it first.
• Set the check-in questions. Writes five short questions you ask the new hire each week, such as what is unclear and what is blocking.
• Read this week. Marks each planned item done, late or blocked from your notes and works out the share done.
• Choose the path. On track keeps it short. Behind looks first at access, buddy time and unclear priorities. Blocked or worried goes to the top.
• Update the log. Adds one line per week, so next week it can tell whether the same cause came up again.
• Hand back three actions. Gives you at most three things to do this week, plus a draft message you send yourself.

Tasks you can use it for

• Someone is starting soon and you want the first 90 days planned and followed.
• You are a manager who wants a short, steady check each week instead of a plan that sits in a folder.
• You want to catch missing access or unclear asks while they are still easy to fix.

Limits to check before starting

• You need a one-day orientation or a plan for a short contractor gig: use a simple checklist and a quick call with the person.
• You want to judge a hire's performance or decide on probation: talk to your own HR adviser, because this agent never judges the person.
• You have a safety, health or discrimination complaint: go to HR or a qualified person now, not to this agent.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Start a chat with the agent. In Claude Code, add it as a skill or save it in .claude/agents, then give it the hire's details.
• Read the plan and the check-in questions, change what does not fit, and approve it.
• Each Friday, write a few lines on how the week went and give them to the agent.
• Read the hand-back and do the actions yourself. Say yes to any single action you want the agent to take.
• Run it again next Friday. It reads the log and says if the same cause came up again.
