# Post-hire onboarding for senior hires
URL: https://psymet.app/docs/for-organisations/post-hire-onboarding

psymet helps a senior hire and their new team understand each other's working preferences in the first weeks after the hire. It is used after the hiring decision has been made, as support for settling in, never as part of the decision.

## Why the first months matter

A senior hire has to learn a new team's habits quickly, and the team has to learn theirs. Shared profiles and user manuals shorten that process by making preferences explicit.

## How it works in practice

The new hire and their team complete profiles, read each other's user manuals, and use the team map and AI coaching to prepare for early conversations and projects.

Admins and talent partners can also use [Pairings](/docs/for-organisations/pairings) to prepare the new hire and a key colleague, such as their manager or closest peer, for working together, with a plan for a conversation with each of them.

## For HR and executive-search firms

Firms can offer psymet as post-hire support for a placement. The profiles belong to the team's day-to-day collaboration and are not a report on the candidate.

## Before you start

Read [Responsible use](/docs/for-organisations/responsible-use) and share it with everyone who will see team profiles.
