Fractional Onboarding & Training

Onboarding & training support that gets new hires productive faster

Every hour you spend setting up accounts, scheduling orientation sessions, and chasing down paperwork is an hour you're not running your business. Onboarding a single employee can consume 10 to 20 hours of administrative work before their first real day. Nacho specialists take that off your plate: handling the logistics, communications, and documentation so your new hires feel prepared and your team stays focused.

Can I delegate onboarding & training to a Virtual Assistant?

Yes. Nacho matches you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist who owns your onboarding & training every week, not a one-off task. Set a Talent Budget starting at $1,000 a month, begin with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, and expect to be matched in about a week.

What we handle

What you can hand over

Recurring work your US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist owns from week one. No vague promises.

New Hire Account Setup & System Access

Your EA provisions accounts in tools like Google Workspace, Slack, or Microsoft 365, submits IT access requests, and confirms logins are ready before day one, so new hires aren't sitting idle waiting for credentials.

Onboarding Checklist Creation & Tracking

Your EA builds and manages role-specific onboarding checklists in Asana, Notion, or ClickUp, tracking task completion and following up with hiring managers or new hires when items fall behind.

Orientation Scheduling & Calendar Coordination

Your EA schedules all orientation meetings, department introductions, and training sessions across stakeholder calendars, sending invites and reminders so nothing gets missed in the first week.

Training Material Organization & Distribution

Your EA compiles existing SOPs, video tutorials, and policy documents into a structured folder in Google Drive or SharePoint and sends new hires a sequenced training plan they can actually follow.

HRIS Data Entry & I-9/W-4 Follow-Up

Your EA enters new hire information into platforms like Gusto, BambooHR, or Rippling and follows up to ensure required compliance documents are completed and submitted before payroll deadlines.

30/60/90-Day Check-In Scheduling

Your EA sets up recurring check-in meetings between new hires and their managers at the 30, 60, and 90-day marks, ensuring structured feedback loops are in place without you having to remember to book them.

How it works

How the handoff works

After onboarding with Nacho, your Client Success Manager works with you to document your current onboarding process, or helps you define one if it doesn't exist yet. That information becomes part of your Delegation Strategy Plan, which your EA references from day one. In the first week, your EA typically audits your existing onboarding materials, identifies gaps, and begins handling any active new hire workflows in progress. From there, they operate as a consistent point of contact for onboarding logistics, so each new hire gets a repeatable, professional experience without requiring your direct involvement.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For operations-led work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional COO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have a documented onboarding process before handing this off?
No, many clients come to us with onboarding that lives entirely in someone's head or a scattered mix of emails and shared drives. Your Client Success Manager will help you document what you have and identify what's missing before your EA starts. Building that structure is part of what we do.
Can an EA handle onboarding for multiple new hires at the same time?
Yes, and this is where delegation pays off most. An EA can run parallel onboarding checklists for multiple hires simultaneously: tracking each person's progress, sending reminders, and flagging anything that's falling behind. Your hours are pooled monthly, so you can scale up during high-hiring periods.
Will my EA have access to sensitive HR systems and employee data?
Nacho EAs are US-based professionals who sign confidentiality agreements as part of their engagement. You control what access you grant, and your Client Success Manager can help you think through a permission structure that keeps sensitive data protected while still allowing your EA to do the work.
How is this different from just hiring an HR coordinator?
A Nacho EA gives you execution capacity without the overhead of a full-time hire: no benefits, no long-term commitment beyond the initial three months, and no downtime between hiring cycles. At $40/hour for Executive Assistant support, you're paying for the hours you actually use, and up to $200 of any unused budget rolls over to the following month.
