Employee Onboarding Automation: From contract to welcome kit
To automate employee onboarding, use workflow platforms like Jestor, Pipefy, Enboarder, and BambooHR — they ensure that no crucial step, such as signing the contract, creating the email, or shipping the laptop, is forgotten.
The "Limbo" between Offer and Day One
The most critical moment of hiring is when the candidate accepts the offer. If the company delays sending the contract or forgets to set up the computer, the first impression is terrible.
Onboarding automation serves to orchestrate different departments (HR, IT, Finance) that need to work together to welcome the new employee.
Steps that should be automated
- Documentation: Collecting documents (ID, Tax forms) via secure form.
- IT Provisioning: Automatic creation of email and Slack access.
- Equipment: Notifying inventory to set aside a chair and laptop.
- Training: Automatic sending of company culture manuals.
How Jestor unifies the process
Jestor treats Onboarding as a project with a deadline.
Flow in Jestor:
- HR marks the candidate as "Hired."
- Jestor automatically creates a task list for IT ("Create email") and Finance ("Add to payroll").
- The new employee receives access to the "Employee Portal" to upload their documents themselves.
- If IT delays computer delivery, the system alerts the manager.
