The Problem

HR teams spend 8-15 hours per new hire on onboarding tasks: creating accounts, ordering equipment, sending policy documents, scheduling orientation, and chasing signatures. When steps are missed, new employees start without tools they need, delaying productivity by days or weeks.

The Solution

Automated employee onboarding triggers a structured checklist the moment an offer is accepted. It provisions email and tool accounts, sends document signing requests, schedules orientation meetings, notifies managers, and tracks completion of every step in a centralized dashboard.

Ensure every new employee has accounts, equipment, and documents on day one
