Chief-Onboarding

New hires fail from information overload and IT bottlenecks, not lack of goodwill - the observation behind ChiefOnboarding, a free, open-source employee onboarding platform (Django, Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis). Its answer is sequences - drag-and-drop timelines that drip-feed to-do items, resources, courses, forms, and badges to each new hire, triggered by dates or by completing a previous item, so nobody faces everything at once. Onboarding starts before day one: preboarding pages welcome hires early, and colleagues can leave personal messages that appear there. The account provisioning module creates the new hire's Slack, Google, Asana, and other accounts automatically on the scheduled day via a library of integrations plus custom webhooks - the IT ticket queue never gets involved. Everything works through two equivalent interfaces: a full web dashboard and a Slack bot, either usable standalone. Slack can even auto-create new hire accounts when someone joins the workspace and assign default sequences with zero manual action. Colleague tasks with comments and collaboration, a searchable people directory, scheduled introductions, and per-hire timezone awareness (no 3 a.m. notifications) round it out. No trackers, no phoning home - third-party credentials sit in encrypted fields on your server.
