Onboarding software eases the burden for the HR team. With onboarding software, there’s a systematic approach to onboarding that can work by itself, for example,
send intro emails,
gather new hire data through form fills,
e-signs and verifications,
send an onboarding checklist to stakeholders,
notification and reminders to concerned parties.
and so on.
An automated, well-planned onboarding experience leaves a lasting impression on the candidate that will help with employee retention. When all the operational tasks are taken care of, it gives more time for HR to provide a meaningful, memorable employee experience. To dive deeper:
Kick start your onboarding process right from the moment the candidate accepts the offer. Send them an intro email, start working on the onboarding checklist, get all your paperwork e-signed, and so on. By doing so, your new hires do not have to face a mountain of paperwork on their first day. Instead, they spend time socializing and knowing their peers.
Onboarding is not just the paperwork, it is also the experience. When your new hires experience an automated, self-serving onboarding experience, it also talks about what lies ahead in the company,
Ensure that all the stakeholders are aware of the onboarding process, send timely reminders, and get all the devices and approvals in place so that the new hire is up to speed and not kept waiting on their new job.
Some of the basic features to look for in Onboarding Software include:
Onboarding checklists: Ensure that all stakeholders are informed about the new hire and get started with orientation at the earliest possible so that the new hire has a great first day.
Emails, reminders, and E-signatures: Send welcome emails, collect their signatures, and get done with all the paperwork with timely reminders.
Integrations: Given the transition to remote work, it is more of a necessity to have all the tools that can help with remote onboarding, such video interviews, e-sign, calendar apps, etc, to name a few.
ATS: Many software provide Onboarding as a part of their ATS, thereby providing a tool that helps with the entire hiring cyle; sourcing, hiring, and onboarding.
Freshteam allows you to put together and send an onboarding kit - documents to sign, forms-to-fill, security policies or handbooks to be shared, all in a few clicks. This way you don’t have to worry about manual data entry and uploading documents to the system on the first day. Your new employees can just fill out the form, at their convenience before they come in, and spend their first day just getting to know the company and their new colleagues.
When there is a form to be filled, there are always people who will procrastinate. Send friendly nudges to new employees to get them to finish filling out the form so that you have all the information you need.
Automatically assign and track tasks that IT, HR, an admin or anyone has to complete as a part of new hire joining. For example, you can create and assign a task to ensure that your new hire has a buddy on Day 1.
You can smoothly off-board employees, manage the tasks and get the people concerned on the same page. Even if you miss, Freshteam will automatically remove the employee after the termination date.
No more chasing lost forms or missing signatures. Simply get your onboarding forms and documents E-signed with the Freshteam- SignEasy Integration. It’s safe and fast.
“For any growing company that is scaling fast, it definitely puts a lot of pressure on all vertical. If you are looking to hire great talents without using many resources, a tool like Freshteam can really help address all your issues like an HR team of its own.”
“Your recruiters won’t be switching between their email and ATS constantly, wasting time searching for information, running behind the hiring team or struggling with complex, clunky workflows (a feature of most enterprise products). With Freshteam, every stakeholder - recruiters, hiring team, employees - is onboard and happy.”
“Easy to use, great for small businesses - I had a professional looking career site in seconds. It’s very easy to use, I also like their Freshdesk platform and the pricing model that really lets you explore the software and get used to it before committing to pay.”
“Freshteam seemed to have everything we need to move candidates through the hiring process, and at a fair price. Competitors didn’t have everything we needed. The ones with more options had long integration processes and charged too much money; while still not checking all of our boxes.”
