Onboarding

Give every new hire a buddy and a way to ask for help

Choose a buddy and approve the messages. Shuffl sends each one in Slack on the day you set, in the hire’s own time zone.

MelloHi Priya, you’re two weeks in. How’s it going?All goodI need help

The first weeks

The first weeks, in three messages

Who to ask, who to meet, and whether it’s going well.

  1. Buddy invitation

    Before day one, the buddy accepts or declines. If they decline, you pick someone else.

  2. First-day introduction

    On day one, the hire and their buddy meet in a Slack group message.

  3. Check-in

    Two weeks in, the hire answers All good or I need help. Help goes privately to HR.

First 90 days

The first 90 days, not just the first week

Every hire you onboard gets check-ins through their first three months, and their manager gets a nudge to meet them.

  • For managers

    15 minutes with the new hire

    A private Slack nudge each week through week 12, with a few questions to ask.

  • For the hire

    Check-ins that keep going

    A short check-in on day 30, 60 and 90.

  • On day 90

    What should we fix before the next person starts?

    One open question for every hire.

  • Privacy

    Nobody sees one person’s answers

    Answers are stored without names. HR sees them combined, once 7 or more hires have answered.

Control

HR stays in charge

One program holds the messages. Each hire gets their own dates, time zone and buddy.

  • Approval

    You approve every message

    Change a date or a message and it comes back for approval.

  • Timing

    Timed to day one

    Days from the start date, and the local send time.

  • Time zones

    In their time zone

    Nobody gets a welcome at 3 AM.

Directory

Your people stay in sync

Onboarding, answers and introductions reach the right people because the directory stays current.

  • Slack. Everyone in your Slack workspace shows up in People. Names, emails and deactivations stay current.
  • Your HR system. BambooHR, HiBob, Rippling, Personio, Workday and Deel bring start dates, departments and managers.
  • Your identity provider. Okta, JumpCloud, Entra ID or any SCIM provider adds, updates and suspends people.

Culture on autopilot

Onboarding that runs itself

Welcome every hire the same way, without a checklist.

  1. Shuffl measures it

    Onboarding insights track messages sent on time, buddy acceptance and check-ins answered.

  2. Every hire gets a buddy

    You choose the buddy once, and Shuffl sends every message on time. No hire depends on someone remembering.

  3. Each first week gets better

    Check-in answers show what to fix before the next person starts.
