Most offshore hires don’t struggle because they are the wrong hire. They struggle because the first 30 days never gave them enough structure to succeed.

The 8-step onboarding checklist
A walkthrough of LevelUp’s onboarding process, from paid pre-Day-1 onboarding and kickoff calls to tool training, Slack support, cybersecurity training, and ongoing check-ins.
Slack welcome templates
Ready-to-adapt messages for Day 0 welcomes, post-call follow-ups, HR reminders, Day 1 check-ins, and leave process reminders.
Pre-Day-1 setup checklist
Tool access, onboarding calls, private channels, handbook signing, first-week schedules, and support contacts prepared before the hire starts.
The first few weeks shape how a new hire understands the role.
They need to know what matters first.
They need to know who to ask when something is unclear.
They need to know how your team communicates.
They need to know what good work looks like in your business.

When those things are not clear, you or your team end up stepping back into the work.
That is when onboarding starts to affect delivery, confidence, and retention.
A strong onboarding system helps prevent that from happening.

Month-to-month retention can show what happened recently.
Multi-year retention shows whether people actually stay.
LevelUp looks at retention across years because long-term teams are the goal.
