What features does this Employee Onboarding Assistant tool have?

This Employee Onboarding Assistant tool is built and run on Appaca workspace. You can clone it and make changes to fit your team's needs.

Active onboardings, total overdue tasks, and average completion rate at a glance - with each new hire's current phase, progress bar, and on-track or overdue status in one table so HR always knows who needs attention.

Onboarding dashboard

Enter the new hire's full name, role, department, manager, and start date. Appaca generates a personalised onboarding plan for them automatically - tasks assigned, phases set, and due dates calculated from their start date.

Add new hire

Managers select their name to see every onboarding task assigned to them across their active new hires, grouped by phase and showing completion status with due dates - so they always know what they need to action next.

Manager checklist

Full progress tracking for each new hire - overall completion percentage, a phase-by-phase breakdown from Before Day One through to First 90 Days, and every task listed with its assignee, due date, and current status.

Onboarding record

Every onboarding task grouped by phase - First Day, First Week, First Month - each tagged to either the new hire or their manager, with due dates and live status so it's always clear who needs to act and when.

Task checklist by phase

New hires see their own personalised checklist organised by phase from Before Day One onwards. Overdue tasks are highlighted so they always know what to prioritise - and completed tasks are crossed off as they go.

FAQs

What is an employee onboarding assistant?

It's an internal tool that generates a personalised onboarding plan for every new hire based on their role, department, and manager, then tracks task completion across phases - Before Day One, First Day, First Week, First Month, and First 90 Days. Managers have their own checklist view, new hires have their own, and HR sees everything. No more chasing progress across spreadsheets and email threads.

Do I need to know how to code to build this?

No. Appaca is an AI workspace - you describe what your HR team needs and the Appaca agent builds the tool for you, complete with a built-in database, team access, and automations. No coding or deployment required.

How does the AI generate personalised plans for each new hire?

You upload your onboarding templates, role-specific checklists, and first-90-days frameworks to the knowledge base. When you add a new hire, the AI uses their role, department, and manager as context to build a plan tailored to their position - with tasks assigned to the right person and due dates calculated from their start date.

Can managers see only their own new hires?

Yes. Each manager sees the onboarding tasks assigned to them across their active new hires. Advanced permissions keep each person's view focused on what's relevant to them - managers see their reports, new hires see their own plan, and HR sees the full picture.

Can we customise onboarding plans per role or department?

Yes. The templates and frameworks you upload to the knowledge base define how plans are generated. You can create role-specific checklists for engineering, sales, or HR, and the assistant will use the right template for each new hire automatically.

Where is our onboarding data stored?

In a secure database built into your Appaca workspace. Every new hire record, onboarding plan, task, and completion log lives right inside the tool - encrypted, protected, and only visible to the team members you invite.

How do automated onboarding reminders work?

You set up scheduled automations that run on whatever cadence you choose. For example, the tool can scan for overdue tasks each morning and post a summary to your team's Slack channel, or send each new hire a reminder of tasks due in the next 48 hours - so no deadline is missed without a human having to chase it.
