Using our onboarding materials in the Knowledge Center, answer new hires' pre-start questions and cite the source. Start with: what should I bring on my first day at the Austin office, and what time should I arrive?

Welcome aboard. This comes from the New Hire First-Day Guide and the Austin Office Guide, both in the Knowledge Center.

For your first day at the Austin office, here's what to bring and when to be there.

  • Arrival time. Plan to arrive by 9:00 a.m. Your onboarding session starts at 9:15 in the second-floor training room, and reception will be expecting you (New Hire First-Day Guide, p. 1).
  • What to bring. Two forms of ID for your I-9 paperwork: a passport, or a driver's license plus your Social Security card or birth certificate. Bring the originals, not copies (New Hire First-Day Guide, p. 2).
  • Parking. Use the garage on San Jacinto; tell the attendant you're a new hire and they'll validate. Bring the entry ticket up with you (Austin Office Guide, p. 3).
  • Dress code. Business casual for your first day (New Hire First-Day Guide, p. 2).

The short version: be at reception by 9:00 with two IDs, park in the San Jacinto garage, and dress business casual. Everything after that is covered in your morning session.

From offer letter to confident day one

Pre-Boarding FAQ gives new hires a place to ask everything on their mind before day one and get a clear answer grounded in your onboarding materials (first-day logistics, paperwork, parking, dress code), each one citing the guide it came from.

  1. Upload your onboarding materials

    Add your first-day guide, office and parking details, dress-code notes, and paperwork checklist to the Knowledge Center so Joy has real answers to give.

  2. New hires ask what's on their mind

    Between signing and starting, they ask in plain language (what to bring, when to arrive, where to go) as questions come up.

  3. Review the cited answer

    Joy responds with clear logistics and names the guide it drew from, so the new hire knows the answer is official, not a guess.

  4. Use it where you work

    The new hire gets what they need on the spot. If they want to save a checklist or share it with family, they copy the text into their own notes.

  5. Make it one click for your team

    Save this ask as a custom command on the assistant your team already uses, so anyone can run it in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this help new hires before their start date?

It gives them a place to ask the logistics questions that pile up between signing and starting (what to bring, when to arrive, where to park) and get cited answers from your onboarding materials in seconds, instead of waiting days for a recruiter reply.

Where do the answers come from?

Only from the onboarding materials you upload to the Knowledge Center: your first-day guide, paperwork checklist, office and parking details, and dress-code notes. Each answer names the guide it drew from so new hires know it's official.

Does this reduce questions to recruiters?

Yes. The routine pre-start questions that used to land in a recruiter's inbox get answered on demand, so recruiters aren't playing email tag during the quiet stretch before someone starts.

What about personal or unusual questions?

For anything specific to one person's situation or not covered in the materials, Joy says it can't confirm that and points the new hire to their recruiter or HR contact, rather than guessing at an answer.

When can a new hire start using it?

As soon as you give them access after the offer is signed. That's the whole point: filling the silence between signing and day one, when new hires are most anxious and most likely to show up unprepared.
