What is an onboarding coordination VA?

An onboarding coordination VA runs the pre-boarding and onboarding checklist — sending paperwork, coordinating accounts and equipment, and guiding new hires through week one — so people start smoothly and productively.

The problem

Disorganized onboarding causes early attrition.

A messy first week makes a poor impression and drives early attrition. An onboarding VA runs the checklist so new hires start smoothly and productively.
