Onboarding

The process of integrating and setting up a new hire so they can become productive.

Onboarding covers everything from paperwork and accounts to training, introductions and first projects. In remote roles it happens entirely online, so strong onboarding relies on written guides, recorded walkthroughs and a clear 30/60/90-day plan.

How a company onboards from home is a great signal of remote maturity — it's worth asking about in interviews before you accept.
