Starting a new job is exciting, and let's be honest, a little scary.

The pressure to prove yourself, the overwhelm of everything new, the worry of whether you're doing enough. It's a lot to carry alone. Soar90 stays beside you with a clear plan, gentle reminders, and a way to capture every win, so you never have to wonder if you're on track.

Only 12% of employees strongly agree their company does a great job of onboarding them (Gallup). Strong onboarding improves new-hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70% (Brandon Hall Group).

Developed by Recruiters, HR and Leadership professionals

Soar90 is your personal, standalone onboarding blueprint. Use it as your complete 90-day plan or alongside whatever your employer has in place.

Four phases. Ninety days.

  1. Pre-Start - Prepare Before Day One. Get a head start with pre-onboarding tasks that set you up to show up confident and prepared.
  2. Days 1-30 - Learn, Listen & Orient. Map the culture, build relationships, and understand expectations. Listen more than you talk.
  3. Days 31-60 - Contribute & Connect. Own your first project, set boundaries, and deepen relationships with your core collaborators.
  4. Days 61-90 - Lead & Grow. Deliver your quick win, build a roadmap, and proactively request your 90-day review.

Show up to your review with receipts

Log wins as they happen, capture the praise you receive, and turn it all into a first-person report your manager can read in five minutes.
