For onboarding & new hires

Nobody learns the job from the wiki.

New hires drown in docs and shadowing while your best people answer the same questions. Fayne turns the folder into a first month that ends in doing, and shows you who's ready before they work alone.

7-day preview, no card needed. Bring the handbook you already have.

What we hear

Every question still routes to you.

What the people running onboarding tell us.

  • “We hired our tenth person, and every question still routes to me.”
    Operations lead, growing team
  • “The docs go out of date the week we write them. Nobody reads them anyway.”
    Head of support
  • “They'll watch a three-minute video. They won't read a ten-page doc.”
    Team lead, frontline staff
  • “Orientation is someone at the front of the room, reading from a binder.”
    Training officer, field teams
  • “Before they show up on site, they need the safety courses done.”
    Staffing firm, industrial contractors
  • “New people should be able to watch the onboarding without us running it every time.”
    Operations manager

The first month

From day one to working solo. In order.

Every new hire gets a path for their role: what to know on day one, what to do in week one, what to show by the end of the month. Lessons can open on a schedule from their start date.

  1. Day 1

    Know where things live

    The tools, the tone and the few rules that matter most. Short lessons, a walkthrough video where it helps, and a question at the end of each.

  2. Week 1

    Do the first real tasks

    Practice on cases from your own queue, then a field mission on the real thing, with a date and a check-in from their lead.

    A customer asks for a refund on day 31.

  3. Month 1

    Show they can

    A knowledge check with a pass mark closes the month. Pass it and the certificate is theirs. Miss it and they know which lesson to take again.

The manager's view

Ready, or not yet.

Before anyone works alone, see who has shown they can and who needs one more pass. No chasing, no guessing from a completion rate.

  • Progress and checks per personWhere each new hire is on the path, and which checks they have passed.
  • What the group keeps missingOnce three people practise, Fayne says in plain words which point nobody lands, so you fix the doc once.
  • Never what they wroteWhat people write or say in practice stays with them, so they practise honestly.

Nobody wants onboarding. They want to be useful by Friday.

A new hire doesn't need the whole handbook in week one. They need to do the first real task right, then the next one. Fayne builds the month around that, from what you already wrote.

From the folder you have

The folder becomes a path.

Bring the SOPs, the handbook and the recorded walkthroughs. Fayne asks a few questions, shows you an outline for each role, and writes nothing until you approve it.

  • Three minutes, not ten pagesShort lessons in your voice, with your own walkthrough videos where they help and practice at the end of each one.
  • The tutor takes the first questionA tutor in every lesson answers from your material and coaches them to the answer, so your seniors stop fielding the same five. It can make mistakes, and the questions it gets show you which doc is missing.
  • When the process changesTell the course assistant what changed. It edits the lessons from your new doc and lists every change for you to keep or undo.

    A path for every role

    Support, sales, the warehouse floor. Each role gets its own first month, paced from the day they start.

    Frontline & shift teams

    No binder, no classroom

    Swap the morning in a conference room for short lessons people finish between shifts, and one place to find them again.
