Employee onboarding admin
Offer accepted to first day, run automatically: forms sent and chased, data entered once, accounts and equipment requested on schedule.
The problem
Onboarding admin runs 8 to 11 HR hours per hire: send forms, chase signatures, re-key the same data into payroll, benefits, and IT tickets.
New hires judge the company by week one, and week one is usually a pile of forms and a laptop that isn't ready.
The same name, address, and bank details get typed into four systems, with four chances for a typo that becomes a payroll problem.
How the agent runs it
Send and chase
The document packet goes out on offer acceptance. Reminders run until everything is signed.
Enter once
Form data flows to payroll, HR records, and benefits without re-keying.
Provision
Account and equipment requests fire on schedule so day one works.
Track
A checklist per hire shows HR exactly what is missing and what is done.
Human in the loop
Where your team stays in charge
Identity document verification stays human because the law requires it: I-9 review is a person's job. Benefits questions and anything sensitive route to HR.

What changes
Typical before and after for this workflow. We measure your baseline during the audit and commit to numbers per engagement.

|---|---|---|
| HR time per hire | 8–11 hours | Under an hour of review |
| Data entry | Same data, four systems | Entered once, flows everywhere |
| Day-one readiness | Laptop maybe ready | Provisioned on schedule |
| Missing paperwork | Discovered at payroll | Chased before day one |

Common questions on this workflow
We hire five people a year. Is this worth it?
Probably not on its own, and we'll say so. It usually rides along as part of a bigger back-office build, or starts making sense above roughly a hire a month.
Can it answer new-hire questions?
Policy questions, from your handbook, with citations. Benefits advice and anything personal goes to a human.
