Nearshore IT Talent Onboarding Day-One Ready

A structured, bias-aware launch program: pre-boarding setup, Day-1 immersion, and a 30-60-90 plan that turns new hires into independent contributors—fast.

Devices • Access • Docs • First ticket • 30-60-90 plan • HITL oversight

Onboarding isn’t an event. It’s the first 90 days.

Traditional onboarding stalls on access, context, and fuzzy expectations. We replace that chaos with a measured launch: diagnostics, not vibes; momentum, not waiting; outcomes, not checklists.

T-14 pre-boarding • MDM enrolled Day-1 • Access readiness ≥95% • First ticket ≤7 days • 30-60-90 plan • Expert-in-the-loop

Signal over noise

Remove access/doc friction so the real skill signal shows up early.

Evidence over opinion

Day-one success criteria + weekly cues, not guesswork.

Growth over judgment

One clear growth vector from the start.

Partnership over vending

Shared runway; we co-own launch outcomes.

The launch sequence (T-14 → Day-90)

From zero friction on Day-1 to autonomous delivery by Day-90—measured, not hoped.

T-14 pre-boarding • Access readiness ≥95% • Device MTPD ≤5 days • First ticket ≤7 days • 30-60-90 plan

Environment Set up

Phase 1 — Pre-Boarding & Environment Sync (T-14 → T-1)

    Goal: Day-1 with everything ready—no waiting for access.
    Activities: Device provisioning + MDM, SSO/repo/PM/VPN access, docs pre-loaded in portal.
    Deliverables: Environment blueprint • Access checklist • Onboarding links verified

MTPD ≤5 days • ARR ≥95% Day-1 • Docs verified

Completing first onboarding ticket

Phase 2 — Day 1–5 Immersion & First Win

    Goal: One human connection, one merged PR.
    Activities: Structured intros, ceremonies walkthrough, assign a low-risk first ticket.
    Deliverables: First-week plan • First PR merged • Ceremony participation

Time-to-First-PR ≤7 days • Ceremonies joined • Mentor assigned

Contributing and leading the first project since onboarding

Phase 3 — The First 90 Days (Learn → Contribute → Own)

    Goal: Guided contributor → autonomous at level.
    Milestones: 30d: independent component tasks • 60d: feature contribution • 90d: autonomy at role level → triggers first Quarterly Diagnostic
    Deliverables: 30-60-90 plan progress • Growth vector • Promotion signals (if earned)

TTP ≤14 days to independent component work • Quarterly review scheduled

Client Environment Sync (done before Day-1)

One source of truth for devices, access, docs, security, Day-1 agenda, and the 30-60-90 plan.

ARR ≥95% Day-1 • Device MTPD ≤5 days • MDM enrollment ≥99% (24h) • Time-to-First-PR ≤7 days

Environment blueprint (devices & local setup)

    Local tools: IDE + extensions, Docker, Postman, terminal, package managers.
    Runtime versions: Node / Python / Java / Go (pin exact versions).
    Env vars & secrets: how provided (e.g., .env, Vault/SM CLI).
    Build/run: one-command local start? fixtures/seeds?
    Notes: repo size, monorepo structure, heavy deps.

Access & credentials

    Identity provider: Google Workspace / Okta / Entra ID / Other.
    Comms: Slack / Teams (workspace + channels).
    Project management: Jira / Linear / Asana (workspace/board).
    Source control: GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket (org + repos).
    Cloud/IAM: AWS / GCP / Azure (roles, policies, regions).
    VPN: client, config, split-tunnel rules.

Team cadence & ceremonies

    Methodology: Scrum / Kanban / Shape Up / Other.
    Recurring meetings (TZ): stand-up, planning, retro, demos.
    Code review: PR size, review SLA, “ready to merge” rules.
    Release train: frequency, approvals, change window.
    Decision log: RFCs/design docs location.

Documentation & knowledge transfer

    “Read me first” / team charter
    Architecture overview diagram
    Local setup guide
    Code style & contribution guide
    CI/CD pipeline & release guide
    Incident response / on-call runbook

Security & compliance onboarding

    Security training: link + due date.
    Data handling: PII/customer data policy links.
    Incident contacts: names, emails, Slack channels.
    Device management: MDM enrollment steps; required policies.
    Secrets policy: rotation schedule, storage rules.
    SLA chips: MDM ≥99% in 24h • PII policy acknowledged

Day-1 agenda

    Greeter: name + contact.
    Kick-offs: team intro, technical onboarding, security brief.
    Access check: verify SSO/repos/PM/cloud live.
    First ticket: link to a small, low-risk task (target merge ≤7 days).
    Welcome context: product goal, success criteria, stakeholders.

30-60-90 success plan

    30 days (Learn): 2–3 systems to master; component tasks independently.
    60 days (Contribute): feature-level contribution; ceremonies fluent.
    90 days (Own): autonomy at role level; triggers first Quarterly Diagnostic.
    Growth vector: one focus aligned to next-level behavior.

Day-One success KPIs

We publish onboarding outcomes from the platform—objective, repeatable, and tied to SLAs.

Source: Client Environment Sync + device MDM + repo/PM telemetry customized access

≤ 7 days

Definition: Days from start date to first merged, low-risk PR.
