🧠 The Signal: AI Is Rewriting the First Week on the Job
This week’s signal highlights how AI is making onboarding faster, more personalized, and far less manual - especially for lean HR teams.
Onboarding is often a scattered mess: emails, docs, checklists, introductions, and calendar invites - all split across tools and owners. AI is starting to stitch that experience together into one seamless flow.
Tools like Leena AI, Zavvy, and even custom GPT bots are now being used to guide new hires through personalized journeys. They answer common questions, automate reminders, and create tailored learning paths based on role, level, and location.
Why it matters: First impressions drive long-term engagement. AI enables scalable personalization - and frees up your HR team to focus on culture, not checklists.
Try this: Set up an onboarding assistant using a GPT bot or no-code flow tool (like Typeform AI or Chatbase). Use it to handle FAQs, link to policies, or walk new hires through their first 3 days.
