#133: Everything That Should Be in an Onboarding Week (So Your New Hire Doesn't Ghost After 30 Days)

Okay, real talk - the first week with a new hire is way more important than most founders give it credit for.   Your new employee is basically deciding within the first two weeks whether they made the right call taking this job, or whether they're already low-key updating their resume. And the wild part is, most founders are completely losing them on day one without even realizing it.   The whole "we'll just figure it out as we go" thing? That's not an onboarding plan. That's a recipe for a confused, anxious new hire who quietly checks out by week three.   So in this episode I'm walking you through what an actual onboarding week should look like - day by day, what to cover, what to have ready before they even start, the one conversation almost nobody has but absolutely should, and how to spot the early signs that things are or aren't clicking.   Let's get into it.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ
