New Hire Process & Timeline

Digital Timeline & Checklist

As soon as possible

Ideally this would happen when position is filled. To ensure a laptop arrives in time the absolute minimum timeframe is at least one week prior to start date. If Ground Control doesn’t receive a new hire ticket at least one week in advance, we cannot guarantee that hardware, accounts, or permissions will be provisioned on time.

  • Hiring manager opens a New Hire ticket in Jira (our queue)
  • In Jira for any contractors or Geezeo hires, add (Contractor) or (Geezeo) to the Summary to make reporting easier. ex. Contractor - John Doe
