The Onboarding Files Already Exist. Day-30 Managers Still Say New Hires Cannot Do the Job

The onboarding files already exist. Day-30 managers still say new hires cannot do the job. The videos, the slides, and the policy PDF were assigned in week one. Another course build does not answer the manager. Score whether the new hire can explain the files they already have.

The LMS that assigns onboarding stays. Elqo does not replace it, and it does not connect to it. If the course is already published as SCORM or xAPI, Elqo can layer on that package. It does not post results over LTI, and it does not connect to an HRIS.

What you upload

The source is the material the intake already received. A product video. A policy PDF. A slide deck from the hiring manager. Learners answer by voice, in writing, or by multiple choice. Each answer is scored against that source. A manager sees the gaps before the buddy period ends, and the program owner sees the intake as a cohort.

A handbook is enough source material for a three-week induction. Buying a larger catalog does not show whether anyone understood the handbook. The same split is in the product videos already exist and in completion is not understanding.

What stays the system of record

Cornerstone, or whichever system assigns the modules and stores completion, keeps that job. Completion stays a record of finishing. Elqo is the record of whether the person can explain the module. There is no Cornerstone connector on this page. Upload the file you already use.

If the module was built in an authoring tool, publish it as SCORM or xAPI and score practice on top. That is the same path as the course already built in Articulate. It is not a new authoring suite, and it is not LTI.

How the intake gets in

Invite the cohort from a CSV or XLSX file. That is the provisioning path. It is not SCIM. Sign-in, where it is turned on, is SAML for one verified domain. It is not OIDC.

Price is a conversation, sized to the seat cap and to monthly active users. Book a demo and bring the files the intake already has.

Score the files new hires already have

The LMS stays. The videos and the policy PDF stay. The demo scopes the cohort and the material.

Questions buyers ask

Do we have to move onboarding out of the LMS?

No. The LMS keeps assignment and completion. Elqo scores an explanation of the files you upload. It does not replace the system that assigns onboarding.

What if the course is already SCORM or xAPI?

Elqo can layer on content published as SCORM or xAPI. It does not post results over LTI, and it does not connect to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or an HRIS.

How do new hires get an account?

By CSV or XLSX invite. That is not SCIM. SAML, where it is enabled, is one connection for one verified domain.
