Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 54 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- Each row represents a single remote engineer’s onboarding cycle.
- Include onboarding channel (self-paced, mentored, blended) and role type.
- Capture core metrics: time-to-first task, onboarding completion, satisfaction score (1-10), early turnover (within 3 months).
- Flag incomplete onboardings and indicate reason (e.g., dropout, reassignment).
- Segment data by team size and prior remote experience.
