Build a new hire onboarding checklist

When to use it

Before a new tech or office hire’s first day.

The prompt

Copy this, then replace everything in [brackets].

Create an onboarding checklist for a new [tech / CSR / installer].
Before day one: [paperwork, uniforms, truck, tablet/FSM login, tools]
Week one: [safety training, ride-alongs, price book, systems training]
First 30/60/90 days: [goals]
Who owns each step: [roles]

Checklist format with owner and due date.

Before / after

Before: New tech shows up and there’s no truck, no login, no shirt.

After (example output):

Before day 1: order uniforms (Office, 1 week before); set up FSM login and tablet (Office, 3 days); truck stocked (Warehouse, 2 days). Day 1: safety orientation (Service Mgr). Week 1: 3 ride-alongs with a senior tech.

Tips

• Assign one person to own the whole checklist.
• Use first names or job numbers instead of full customer details.
• Copy the final text back into your FSM or accounting system so the record stays in one place.
• Review every draft before you send it. You’re accountable for what goes out.
