Frequently asked questions
Can I create onboarding checklists for free?
Yes! Manus starts in free chat mode for quick questions. For full agent capabilities—deep research, custom checklist generation with role-specific tasks, and timeline structuring—you'll use credits. Most checklists cost 80-150 credits (about $0.80-$1.50).
How is this different from templates?
Templates are static and rarely updated. Manus researches current onboarding trends, compliance requirements, and industry best practices every time. It's tailored to your role, company culture, and onboarding philosophy—not generic fill-in-the-blank.
Do I need HR experience to use this?
Not at all. Manus handles the research and best practices for you. You know your team and culture; Manus translates that into a structured, comprehensive onboarding checklist covering paperwork, training, culture, and relationships.
Can I customize the generated checklist?
Absolutely. Refine any part through conversation—add company-specific tasks, adjust timelines, emphasize compliance or culture, or restructure phases. Manus iterates with you until the checklist perfectly matches your vision.
What does the checklist include?
Comprehensive checklists cover four phases: compliance (paperwork, legal requirements), clarification (role responsibilities, goals), culture (values, norms), and connection (relationships, mentorship). Tasks are organized by timeline with clear owners and success criteria.
Does it consider compliance requirements?
Yes. Manus researches compliance requirements, equal opportunity guidelines, and legal obligations. It includes tasks like I-9 verification, tax forms, benefits enrollment, and policy acknowledgments. For jurisdiction-specific compliance, we recommend final legal review.
Can it create remote team checklists?
Absolutely. Specify remote or hybrid, and Manus tailors the checklist accordingly—incorporating virtual meetings, digital tool training, async communication guidelines, virtual team-building, and strategies to help remote employees feel connected.
How long does generation take?
Most teams spend 3-5 hours researching and creating comprehensive onboarding checklists from scratch. With Manus, you'll have a tailored, ready-to-use checklist in under 10 minutes. Time savings compound when you need checklists for multiple roles.
Can I reuse for multiple new hires?
Yes! Once generated, reuse the checklist for all hires in the same role. Ask Manus to create variations for different seniority levels, departments, or locations—giving you consistency with flexibility.
What export formats are available?
Export to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, Notion, or integrate into project management tools like Asana, Monday.com, or ClickUp. You can also get it as a formatted document (Word, PDF) or presentation for manager training.
