Our Onboarding product provides you with a more intuitive experience that lets you better manage and onboard faster your new hires. Follow the four steps below and be ready to onboard your new hires.

STEP 1: Create and name your process.

  • From the main menu, go to the Onboarding tab, select Processes, and click Create new process.

  • Name your process and click Continue.

STEP 2: Build your onboarding process.

  • The next page will show a list of all the modules that you can include in your Onboarding process.

  • Select one or more tasks to include in your process.

Note:

  • The Custom Form allows you to create an online form and gather necessary information from your new hire to complete their onboarding process.

  • The Sign Company Documents allows you to upload your own company documents and prepare the merge fields through HelloSign.

STEP 3: Configuring each task.

  • Your Onboarding process is designed to collect all basic information about your new hire and their employment. This first part of your process is called the Basic Information module, and it has two parts.

A. 1st part shows what information the hiring manager provides.

B. 2nd part shows what information the new hire provides.

  • Within these parts, some information is set to required (both the new hire and the hiring manager are required to provide the information) and some are set to off or optional.

  • Click Continue once you are done or Skip this task if you'd like to finish it later.

STEP 4: Review your process and Save it to finish.

  • When a module is not configured, a yellow message beside it will say "configuration required."

  • On the right panel, you have the option to either Edit or Delete the task.

Now you are ready to use your new process to onboard your new hires!
