1 · The job

The People agent team

Agents that run hiring admin and onboarding, so every new starter has their access, kit and first week ready.

People desk: the app the team builds and works in, open to Jo and the rest of your team.

2 · The team

Who’s on the team.

4 agents with one job each. People Lead leads, and Jo, head of people, makes the calls.

  • People LeadLeads the teamTracks every hire from offer to day 30.
  • Recruiting CoordinatorSchedules interviews and chases feedback.
  • Onboarding CoachRuns the first week plan.
  • Policy DeskAnswers policy questions with sources.
  • JoHead of peopleApproves the steps that matter, from the app or their phone.
3 · The tools

It works in the tools you already use.

No new system for your people. The agents read and write where the work already lives.

4 · Where people step in

You keep the final say.

These steps stop and wait in the app, with everything needed to decide. You set the rules, and you can change them as trust grows.
