Comparison

Firstweek vs. your company wiki.

Confluence and Google Docs are exactly what Firstweek reads, through read-only connections. The gap was never access. Nobody has had time to turn those pages into something a new hire can use before day one.

A wiki is organized for the people who wrote it.

Your wiki has most of the answers, spread across hundreds of pages written for whoever needed them at the time. That's what a wiki is for, and it's good at it. A new hire can't tell which pages matter for their role, or which decisions still stand and which were reversed two reorgs ago.

Writing it up for each new hire is nobody's job.

Turning scattered pages into one story for one role is a research project. The People team can't do it for every function. Managers can. They don't.

Firstweek reads your wiki. It doesn't replace it.

Firstweek connects read-only to Confluence and Google Drive, plus Slack and your CRM, and writes from what's already there. Nothing to migrate. Your wiki stays the source of truth. Each new hire gets one onboarding artifact built from all of it: every claim cited, approved by the hiring manager before day one.

The short version

Your wiki answers questions people already know to ask. Firstweek writes up what a new hire doesn't know to ask yet, from the same wiki.
