HR & hiring

Onboard new hires before day one

A great first day should not start with a stack of forms. SignTheDoc bundles the entire onboarding packet into one link so new hires arrive signed, sealed, and ready to work.

The challenge

What slows HR & hiring teams down

New hires face a wall of paperwork on day one

HR chases missing signatures across email threads

Sensitive employee data lives in unsecured PDFs

Getting it right

What HR & hiring teams need to watch

Employee data handling

Onboarding packets contain more sensitive personal data than almost anything else an organisation collects. Restrict access to the completed packet, route it into the HRIS employee record rather than an inbox, and never circulate bank details as an email attachment.

Per-document retention

Tax forms, offer letters, and policy acknowledgements carry different statutory retention periods. Configure retention per document type rather than applying one blanket rule to the whole packet.

International hires

Build a packet per country rather than branching one. Tax forms, statutory particulars, and notice requirements diverge enough that a single template becomes unmaintainable and legally risky.

How to start well

What the hr & hiring teams with the best results did first.

Bundle the entire packet into one envelope sent the day the offer is accepted
Order it by motivation: offer letter first, handbook acknowledgement last
Prefill and lock salary, title, and start date so they cannot be altered
Add one question to the 30-day check-in about how the paperwork felt

Connects with your stack

The tools hr & hiring teams most often connect. Anything else works via the API or Zapier.

Common questions

HR & hiring, specifically

Send to their personal email. Signers never need an account of any kind. Waiting until a work account exists defeats the purpose, because the packet then arrives on day one.
