What is a buddy program?
A buddy program pairs every new hire with an experienced employee outside their reporting line. The buddy doesn't evaluate or train: they answer the questions no one dares ask their manager, decode the culture and unwritten rules, and jump-start the new hire's first circle of relationships.
It's one of the most effective onboarding levers, and one of the most fragile when run by hand: HR forgets to assign buddies, pairs never actually meet, and nobody tracks what's happening. The program quietly dies within three months.
How RandomCoffee automates your buddy program
Set it up once. Every new hire gets their buddy from then on, with zero manual work on your side.
Connect your HRIS
Every new hire enters the program automatically on their start date. No manual imports, no spreadsheets.
Define your matching rules
A buddy outside the direct team, same office, enough tenure: your criteria, applied to every pair.
Let meetings organize themselves
Invitations, reminders, and scheduling happen automatically, right inside Slack, Teams, or email.
Track time to autonomy
Meeting rates, feedback from new hires and buddies, early warning signals: everything lands in your dashboard.
What it changes, concretely
→ A buddy from day 1, cutting the time to full autonomy.
