Use case · Teamboarding

Socially connected new hires ramp up faster.

Most onboarding checklists cover laptops and logins — not the human side that decides whether someone stays. New hires who never form real bonds ramp slowly and slip out the door in the first quarter. Rivet is teamboarding: it reveals compatibility across the team and socializes each new hire into it — speeding up the forming, storming, and norming every team goes through.

How Rivet helps

Three things Rivet does that most onboarding experiences miss.

A checklist gets someone set up. Rivet gets them connected — the difference between a new hire who lingers and one who belongs.

Compatibility, revealed

Rivet's HEXACO-based compatibility science shows each new hire the teammates they'll actually click with — not the nearest desk or a random name pulled from a spreadsheet.

Relationships that start

Rivet doesn't just point at names. It puts the first guided activity on the calendar, so relationships start in week one instead of never.

A ramp you can measure

Track relationships formed, first meetings held, and 30/60/90-day belonging by cohort — the leading indicators of retention, all in one view.

From first day to first friend, handled.

Insight without action is just a report. Rivet makes belonging a habit: it identifies the right people, gives them a guided activity, and puts the first conversation on the calendar — so your onboarding program builds relationships, not just accounts.

  • Every new hire has a relationship path before day one ends
  • First quick connect booked automatically
  • Cohort belonging tracked through 90 days

How it works here

Four steps, tuned to this moment.

  1. 1

    Assessment on day one

    New hires spend about ten minutes on the HEXACO assessment during onboarding — no manager setup required.

  2. 2

    Socialized into the team

    Rivet connects each hire with a few genuinely compatible teammates — in their cohort and across the org — who share their working style.

  3. 3

    First activity auto-scheduled

    A short, low-pressure activity lands on both calendars in week one.

  4. 4

    Belonging tracked to 90 days

    Rivet keeps relationship-building moments moving through the critical first quarter and reports how each cohort is bonding.
