Inherited pricing
€0.80 – €2.50 per employee lifecycle event handled
This capability inherits the People Operations Coordinator's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Onboarding Coordination gives a mid-market people ops team a dependable way to get every new hire ready on day one. The problem it solves is familiar: documents go out late, access is not provisioned, the buddy match slips, and the first week is spent chasing instead of ramping. New hires notice, and managers carry the gap. This capability is for people ops teams in companies of 80 to 800 employees who are losing the week to onboarding paperwork and want day-one readiness to be the default, not the exception. The outcome is a hire who arrives with documents delivered, access in place, and a clear ramp plan. Operationally it follows a set sequence. It reads the new-hire record, then delivers the required documents, then coordinates access provisioning, then tracks completion milestones, and finally reports on ramp progress. It runs inside your existing systems: the HRIS, the identity provider, email, and messaging. It works from the data you already maintain: the new-hire record, the role checklist, the access matrix, and the buddy program. For each hire it produces a confirmed day-one checklist, provisioned access, a buddy match, and a tracked 30-60-90 cadence so progress stays visible. The decision logic is structured and conservative. It uses your role checklists and the access matrix to orchestrate the ramp and to flag any missing completions, so nothing quietly falls through. Exceptions are handled by routing: when a missing-completion threshold is reached or an access-policy conflict appears, the case goes to the HRBP for resolution. It hands work to a human on three conditions: a missing-completion threshold, an access-policy conflict, or a sensitivity flag. Every action it takes is logged and reviewable, so the HRBP can audit what was delivered, provisioned, and tracked for any hire. This capability fits best when role checklists are documented, the access matrix is current, and the HRIS is wired in. Its primary measure is onboarding day-one readiness, with a target above 95%. It carries 20-30% of the role's volume, and 25-35% of the role's impact comes from this day-one readiness and ramp discipline. The result is a faster, calmer first week: new hires productive sooner, managers freed from chasing, and a consistent ramp standard applied to every hire instead of a scramble that depends on who happened to have time.
