Every new hire, productive in weeks, not the quarter it usually takes.
New hires don't fail because they can't do the job. They stall because nobody around them knows how they work yet. Marlee builds every new hire a personal user manual, based on their own motivations, so managers, teammates, and even distributed or hybrid teams know how to work with them from day one.
Built on 25+ years of motivation science and 16 billion data points · Trusted by 90% of the Fortune 100

The Cost of a Slow Start
The most expensive part of a new hire isn't the recruiting fee. It's the quarter it takes them to become fully productive.
Most onboarding is paperwork and a buddy system. It tells a new hire how make a leave request, not how their manager prefers feedback, or what actually motivates them to do their best work. It's harder still for teams that are remote, hybrid, or spread across regions, where there's no hallway conversation to fill the gap.
"On day one every Canvanaut newbie creates a Malree account to onboarding into their team."
How Canva Uses Marlee, Case Study
WHERE MARLEE EXCELS
This isn't personality typing. It's a predictive model built from your own top performers.
Evidence-Based Motivation Science
25+ years of research and 16 billion data points behind every one of the 48 motivational traits Marlee measures for every new hire.
Navigating Unique Culture
Newbies have an immediate cheat sheet for navigating the unique dynamics of the team and culture they joined.
A Personal User Manual From Day One
Every manager and teammate gets a clear guide to how a new hire works and communicates best, before their first 1:1, not after the first six-month review.
BUILT AROUND REAL PEOPLE
Different isn't a risk to manage. It's information you can act on immediately.
Every new hire's working style is visible to their manager and team from day one, wherever they're based, not discovered by trial and error over the first quarter.
"My manager already knew how I like to receive feedback before I'd said a word."
"I used to guess how to onboard someone. Now I know."
"Our newest hire felt like part of the team in week one, not month three."

WHY NOT JUST...
Onboarding software tracks tasks. It doesn't tell a manager how to actually work with someone.
ALTERNATIVE | WHAT IT GIVES YOU | WHAT MARLEE GIVES YOU |
|---|---|---|
HRIS onboarding checklists (BambooHR, Workday) | Forms, tasks, and compliance steps completed on schedule. | A personal user manual for how this specific person thinks, communicates, and stays motivated. |
Buddy system / manual onboarding | Whatever the assigned buddy happens to notice and pass on. | A consistent, evidence-based system every manager and teammate receives on day one. |
30/60/90-day surveys | A lagging read on how onboarding felt, weeks after the fact. | A proactive plan for how to manage this person well, before problems show up. |
