What you will get

A 30-60-90 day plan with pre-start setup, a day-by-day first week, people to meet, learning goals, early wins, manager check-ins and what success looks like at each milestone.

Common mistake

The first week is booked solid with meetings.

Fix: Ask for at least two hours of free time each day in week one, so the new person can read, set up tools and actually take things in.

Also watch for

Success measures are vague, like “settles in well”. Ask for things you can check, such as “has shipped one small change” or “runs the weekly report without help” by day 60.
Access and equipment are not ready on day one. Ask for a pre-start checklist with an owner for each item: laptop, accounts, building pass, and who sends the welcome email.

Try a variation: make it for a remote hire

Add that the person is fully remote and ask for video intro calls, a written team handbook and a weekly online social slot.

Still not right? Reply with this

Add three questions to ask the new hire at the 30-day check-in so they can help reshape the rest of the plan.
