“We invest heavily in hiring the right people, and have onboarded 450 of them since I joined. Windmill helps them ramp faster and gives us visibility from week one to make sure they're set up for success.”

You're doubling headcount.
Your onboarding is a Notion doc and a slide deck.

Getting someone hired follows a strict process. Getting them productive usually doesn't. Once the offer is signed, onboarding gets split between HR, IT, the department head, the manager and the new hire.

Their first month, day by day.

This is Windy running the onboarding plan for a new hire. Every checkpoint is something it did without being asked.

Frequently asked questions

What does Windy do during a new hire's onboarding?
Windy runs a personalized onboarding plan for each new hire. It welcomes them in Slack and posts their week-one plan, makes buddy intros, fills in the agenda for their first 1:1, and checks in when something stalls. Managers get a short update on progress, and HR gets a 30-day note on how the hire is ramping.
Does onboarding work for roles outside engineering?
Yes. Each program is built around the role. Engineers ramp on their first PR, salespeople on their first discovery calls and opportunities, and marketers and designers on their first shipped work, using signals from tools like GitHub, Linear, Salesforce, Gong, HubSpot, and Figma.
How do new hires get added to Windmill?
Connect your HRIS, such as Rippling, HiBob, ChartHop, UKG Pro, Justworks, or TriNet, and Windmill imports new hires automatically during scheduled syncs. With onboarding notifications turned on, Windy sends each new member a Slack welcome message, an email, or both shortly after they're provisioned.
Can we run 30-day check-ins with new hires?
Yes. Pulse surveys support a new hire anniversary schedule that sends each person a check-in a set number of days after their hire date, 30 days by default. If you send it to everyone, future hires are included automatically.
How does the program get better over time?
After each class, Windmill shows where people stalled, which work predicted a fast ramp, and what to change before the next start date. Changes ship to the program before the next cohort starts, so each class ramps faster than the last.
