Context: In the last 6 months, company X hired 4 new devs (in a team of ~10 devs) from different backgrounds (devOps, SWE, new grads, seniors, …)

→ How to onboard them? You’re not necessarily the person who interviewed/hired them, so how to you get to know them? Do you just give them a ticket and send them on their way?

→ What were your experiences as an onboarder or onboardee?

First idea is a buddy system, which most people agree works great but you need to make sure you don’t put too much load on the buddy.
