Summary

At a glance

A people-operations platform replacing a patchwork of onboarding spreadsheets, document review folders, and background-check email threads for a mid-market services employer.

The Problem

What the team was up against

  • 01

    Onboarding ran on a Google Sheet handed between recruiting, HR, IT, and the hiring manager — every new hire surfaced a different missing step.

  • 02

    Document review queues lived in shared inboxes; expired certifications were caught only when a manager noticed at site.

  • 03

    Background-check status, I-9 verification, and certifications lived in three different vendors with no single view per employee.

The Solution

How the platform answers it

  • 01

    A single employee record that drives onboarding, document review, certification tracking, and offboarding from one timeline.

  • 02

    Stage-gated workflows where each handoff (recruiting → HR → IT → manager) only fires when the upstream gate is verified complete.

  • 03

    A document review queue with side-by-side comparison, expiry tracking with automatic re-collection, and a vendor-agnostic background-check adapter.
