Abstract: A system is described for improving an onboarding process by analyzing the practices of hiring managers who are successful in onboarding. The system includes analyzing completed onboarding processes to determine which hiring managers have been effective in onboarding. Effectiveness can include measuring attrition, employee performance, employee time to productivity, and employee surveys. Once successful hiring managers have been identified, the onboarding process of the successful hiring manager can be analyzed to identify one or more onboarding activities that are likely correlated with effective onboarding. This can include identifying onboarding activities that commonly appear in the onboarding processes and also onboarding activities that are frequently assigned and completed.
