Fractional Onboarding & Training

Onboarding & training support that gets new hires productive faster

By Zack Pennington, CEO Updated

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 EAs take that off your plate: handling the logistics, communications, and documentation so your new hires feel prepared and your team stays focused.

What we handle

What your executive assistant handles

Concrete tasks our team takes on. 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 Strategic Delegation 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.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

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.
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.
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.
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 $35/hour for Executive Assistant support, you're paying for the hours you actually use, with unused time rolling over month to month.
