Onboarding
In recruiter context
The first 30-60-90 days. Decent onboarding builds you into the team; weak onboarding leaves you confused and demotivated by week three. As a candidate, you can ask in your final interview: "What does the first 30 days look like?" It's a legitimate question, and the answer tells you how seriously the company takes new hires.
