Say a founder or CTO wants to extend their team with overseas talent. What should they do in the first 90 days?
A common mistake is assigning a senior developer or the CTO to personally onboard new hires full-time. It seems like the easiest approach, but it usually doesn’t work well.
Instead, you need a lightweight in-house onboarding process. In the first few days, give new hires low-priority tasks from the backlog — easy wins. Let them learn, contribute to a sprint, and build confidence.
That approach creates the same engagement and team integration without overloading your senior leaders.
