Use case

Employee onboarding that runs itself.

A new hire's first week is a hundred small tasks owned by five people and tracked by no one. Laptop late, accounts missing, the buddy forgot. An onboarding system generated from your actual process gives every task an owner, a deadline, and a reminder - so week one feels organized because it is.

What your generated system includes

Data model

  • New hires: role, team, start date, manager, buddy
  • Checklist templates per role
  • Tasks with owners and due offsets (day -7, 0, 7, 30)
  • Equipment and access items per hire

The flow

  • Add a hire: the role's checklist instantiates automatically
  • Tasks assign to their owners - IT, manager, buddy, HR
  • Each owner sees only their queue
  • Progress visible per hire at a glance

Automations

  • Task reminders before due dates
  • Escalation to HR when something slips past start date
  • Day-7 and day-30 check-in emails to the hire
  • Manager digest the Friday before a start

Optional extras

  • New-hire portal: their own checklist view and documents
  • AI-drafted welcome and check-in emails for approval
  • Offboarding as the mirror-image workflow
  • Slack channel post on day one

Paste into Chromoly

Build an employee onboarding system. When I add a new hire with a role and start date, create their checklist from the role's template - IT sets up laptop and accounts by day -2, the manager books intro meetings for week one, HR collects documents by day 0. Remind owners before each deadline and escalate to HR if anything is overdue when they start. Send the hire a check-in email on day 7 and day 30.

Employee data is personal data - Chromoly hosts in the EU (Ireland) with tenant isolation, and a signable DPA is available for the processing.

Why onboarding is a system, not a document

The Notion checklist fails the same way every time: it describes the process without executing it. Nobody is reminded, nothing escalates, and completion depends on whoever remembers to look. Turning the checklist into a generated system means every task has state - assigned, due, done, overdue - and state can trigger action.

The compounding return: every hire improves the template, and the template is the process. Your onboarding stops living in the head of whoever ran it last.

Frequently asked questions

Is employee data safe in Chromoly?

Employee records are personal data and treated accordingly: EU hosting (Ireland), database-level tenant isolation, audit logging, and a signable DPA. Access within your system is scoped - a buddy sees their tasks, not the hire's documents.

Can this handle offboarding too?

Yes - offboarding is the same machine running the mirror workflow: access revocation checklists, equipment return, handover tasks with owners and escalation. Most teams add it as a second workflow in the same system.

Who maintains the system after it's built?

Chromoly does - monitoring, security patches, AI model upgrades, and integration migrations are platform-owned for the lifetime of the account. Changes you request run through a dependency-aware preview showing the blast radius before anything ships.

Can I import my existing data?

Yes - export your current spreadsheet or tool to CSV and import with column mapping, or attach the spreadsheet to your prompt and Chromoly shapes the data model from it directly.
