Useful Links for new Hires is a Chrome extension developed by mihaela.anghel11. It falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools. This free extension provides a convenient way for support engineers to access important internal resources and streamline their onboarding process.

To ensure security and access control, this extension requires users to be connected to a special VPN (Company VPN). Only with this VPN connection can the extension's links and URLs function properly. The internal page that the extension opens is a confluence page titled "Useful pages to start working as Support OEC Engineer". The URLs added within the extension can only be accessed by employees who enter their VPN password and related user credentials. External users attempting to open these URLs will not be able to do so.

This extension proves to be invaluable for new hire engineers as it allows them to quickly access internal processes and necessary role setups. With just a click, support engineers are redirected to an internal page containing all the essential URLs and step-by-step instructions to help them navigate and obtain the required internal access.
