HR Onboarding in 1 Day Instead of 2 Weeks
Professional Services·Sweden
Onboarding a new hire took 2 weeks of back-and-forth emails, missing documents, and manual IT provisioning. We built an automated onboarding workflow that handles everything from offer acceptance to day-one readiness.

01 — Challenge
The Problem
HR manually chased every new hire for documents, manually created accounts, manually coordinated with IT and Finance. New hires arrived on day one without laptop access, email accounts, or a clear first-week plan.
- Document collection via email — constant chasing for missing items
- IT account creation requested manually, often delayed 2–3 days
- New hire had no structured first-week schedule on arrival
- HR spent ~6 hours per hire on coordination and follow-up
- No visibility into onboarding status across multiple hires
