The prompt
Build a simple first-week onboarding plan for a new hire so they get productive fast without me hovering. Role: [job title] My business: [what you do] What I'd love them doing by end of week one: [goals] Tools/accounts they'll need: [list] Give me a day-by-day plan for week one: what to set up, what to learn, who to meet, and a small win for day one. Keep it welcoming, not overwhelming. Add a short "what good looks like by Friday" note.
Write a welcome note
Write a short, warm welcome message I can send them before their first day so they feel set up and excited.
What you'll get
A welcoming, day-by-day first week that ramps a new hire quickly — plus a warm welcome note to send ahead of day one.
If it's not quite right
- Part-time hire? Add "Spread this over the first two weeks instead."
- Remote? Add "Make it work fully remote — note where a call beats a doc."
