Carry a person from offer to first salary on one checklist.

Recruitment & Onboarding carries a person from offer to first salary. The usual gaps never open. Offer, acceptance, documents collected, ID card, bank details, tax and pension numbers, uniform and tools issued all sit on one checklist with a name against each line. The employee record is made once. Payroll starts from it.

What it is

Joining a small company is usually a chair and a form. Somebody says come tomorrow. The ID copy goes into a file, the bank details go to accounts on WhatsApp, and the pension number turns up three weeks later.

A joining checklist shows the work. Each item names who owns it and when it is due, so nothing waits on a person who did not know it was theirs.

What it replaces

What your team uses today.

The module takes over these, one at a time, so nothing has to stop while it is set up.

  • A joining form on paper
  • A chat thread with the candidate
  • A separate sheet for items issued
  • A diary of probation dates
Where it goes wrong today

The problems this is meant to ease.

Offers tracked in chat

An offer is sent by message and accepted by voice. Nothing confirms the salary or the joining date.

Joining day surprises

The new hire arrives and there is no seat, no login and no uniform. Someone scrambles.

Papers collected piecemeal

Bank proof arrives late, and the ID copy later still. Payroll is held up.

Candidate retyped into employee

Details are keyed again for payroll, leave and attendance. Spelling differs between systems.

Probation forgotten

The confirmation date passes. The matter returns during a disagreement.

Inside the module

What recruitment & onboarding does.

Offer to acceptance

The offer letter comes from your template. Salary and joining date fill in. It is sent and tracked until the person says yes in writing.

The joining checklist

Documents, bank account and uniform. Tools, ID card, seat and login. An owner and a date sit against every line.

Papers collected once

National ID, tax ID, bank proof, certificates and photographs are uploaded at joining. Payroll and statutory filings use them later.

One record, not four

The candidate becomes an employee without retyping. Payroll reads that name. Leave and attendance read it too.

First week, written down

Safety induction comes first. Then who to report to, the shift timing and the person who shows the new joiner the machine.

Probation dates that come back

Confirmation falls due in three months. It appears then, not a year later during an argument.

Where it gets used

What this looks like in a working week.

Illustrative scenarios, written to show the shape of the work. They are not accounts of client systems.

An offer goes out

HR generates the letter from the template, with salary and joining date. Acceptance is tracked. The person must reply in writing.

Preparing for joining day

The checklist shows who arranges the seat, the login and the uniform. Each line has a date.

A batch hire

Before the season, many people join together. The same checklist runs for every name.

A confirmation falls due

The reporting manager sees the probation end date. A decision is recorded and the employee record is updated.

Who touches it

The people who open this every day.

HR executive

Runs the checklist and chases missing documents. Confirms the person is ready before day one.

Reporting manager

Knows who joins on Monday. Arranges whatever must be ready beforehand.

Accounts assistant

Picks up bank details from the record. The salary structure is there before first payroll.

How it is set up

From first conversation to daily use.

  1. Mapping hiring steps

    We review how you move from offer to first salary. You describe who does what. You get a written checklist back to correct.

  2. Templates and roles

    Offer letters and joining forms are copied in. You approve who owns each checklist line.

  3. Employee record link

    The candidate becomes an employee without retyping. Payroll and attendance are tested to read that record.

  4. Trial with a recent joiner

    A past joiner’s journey is replayed on the screen. Gaps in the checklist are added.

  5. Live for the next hire

    HR and managers are trained before the next joining. The paper joining form is set aside.

Measuring it

How you would know it is working.

Record where you stand before it goes live, so the change is measured against your own figures.

  • Offers pending acceptance, by age
  • Joiners with documents still outstanding
  • Checklist lines not done by the joining date
  • Probation reviews falling due and overdue
  • Time from acceptance to a complete employee record
How it fits

It is one part of a system, not an island.

A module earns its place by what it passes to the next one. These are the connections we set up most often.

  • Candidate tracking
  • Employee database
  • Payroll management
  • HR document management
  • Attendance and time tracking
Common questions

Questions owners ask about recruitment & onboarding.

Can the new joiner fill in their own details before arriving?

Yes. A link sent after acceptance lets the joiner enter address, bank and emergency contact, and upload documents from home. HR checks the entries. Nobody types them again, so day-one delays mostly vanish.

Does this cope when we hire in batches before the season?

It does. Twenty people joining on the same Monday get the same checklist, and the screen shows which of them still lack a bank account or a safety induction.

Does this handle contract and agency staff too?

Yes, with their own checklist. Agency workers usually need police verification, a contractor reference and a shorter document list. Our software for schools and colleges handles the same step for teachers joining before an academic year.

Is a joining form on paper still acceptable?

Two or three joinings a year? Paper copes. What breaks is the sixth month, when somebody asks for a document that was filed in a cupboard by a person who has since left.

What are the main drivers of price for onboarding?

Headcount hired, templates and the links to payroll and attendance set the scope. Candidate self-service forms are an extra part. After we have read your steps, the quotation separates every part. Take out any you can do without.

What governs the date HR starts working on it?

How clearly you describe joining steps moves the schedule. Offers, checklists and the employee record sit in the starting release. Letter templates are yours to supply. The proposal gives dates.
