new starter

Recently joined employee

A new starter is someone who has recently begun a job or joined an organization—the British equivalent of "new hire." The term emphasizes the beginning of employment rather than the act of being hired: We have three new starters this week.

Common in UK workplace contexts, less so in American English.
