Original research interview guide: HR onboarding example

Nine questions that give you a number and a reason from each person

Question bank for an original research interview on employee onboarding, in three sections: how it works today, what goes wrong and what changes next.
A guide that gives you numbers and reasons from the same people

A reusable nine-question interview guide for an original research report, written for a study of HR teams and how they onboard new hires. It mixes open questions with choice, scale, ranking and yes or no questions so the report gets headline numbers and the reasons behind them. Swap the topic words for your own category. It works in any interview tool, and in Koji each structured answer becomes a chart.

Where this appears

What's in this question bank

How it works today

  1. Walk me through the last time a new person joined your team, from offer accepted to the end of month one.
  2. Which tool runs most of your onboarding today?
  3. How well does your onboarding work today, from 1 to 10?

What goes wrong

  1. Which of these caused problems in the last 12 months?
  2. How do you know whether onboarding worked for someone?
  3. Rank by what matters to your CEO: time to productivity, early attrition, cost per hire, new hire satisfaction.

What changes next

  1. Are you planning to change how you run onboarding in the next 12 months?
  2. If you could fix one thing about onboarding tomorrow, what would it be?
  3. What should we have asked you that we didn't?
