field example · hr

Have you ever had a new hire turn up to no login, no badge and no paperwork?

Everyone owned one line of the checklist. Nobody owned the list. Week one went to waiting.

Who this suits

  • New people start every week, or every season.
  • Onboarding is split across HR, payroll, IT and a manager.
  • New hires chase forms, and HR chases new hires.

When to leave it alone

A few hires a year? A shared checklist does the job. If your HR platform already runs onboarding well, use it fully first.

Where it stalls: between the owners of each step

  1. Offer accepted
  2. Forms out
  3. Forms back
  4. Checks run
  5. Accounts set up
  6. Training booked
  7. First day

Forms come back half finished. A background check waits on a missing date of birth.

IT hears about the start date on the start date. Training is booked after the person arrives.

In staffing, it's tax forms, the I-9 and a drug screen. In home health, it's orientation and a skills check. In an accounting practice, it's a seasonal preparer's software access. In manufacturing, it's safety training before the first shift.

What we'd build: a day-one readiness tracker

It runs every onboarding step, across everyone who owns one.

What changes

  • Every step starts the moment an offer is accepted.
  • Each owner gets their task, with the start date attached.
  • Missing forms get a personal reminder, drafted for approval.
  • The week before, you see who's ready and who isn't.

What it's worth to you

Count last year's new starters. Estimate the days each spent waiting on setup. Multiply by their daily cost.

Add the HR hours spent chasing forms. That's what a slow first week costs.

How it runs, start to finish

Show the whole run

What it works from

Your HR or staffing system, your e-signature tool, and the IT and facilities request inbox. It starts when an offer is accepted. We check each source with you during the first conversation.

The steps

  1. Builds the starter's checklist from role and location.
  2. Sends each owner their task and the start date.
  3. Tracks forms and checks as they come back.
  4. Names what's missing and drafts the reminder.
  5. Flags any step that will miss the start date.
  6. Sends HR a ready-or-not list the week before.

Where a person signs off

HR approves every message to a new hire before it goes.

What it never does

It never treats a background check result as a decision. It never changes pay or job details.

What we'd ask of you

Your onboarding checklist for each role. Access to your HR system. One person who owns onboarding.

It usually comes with

  • A same-day shortlist: strong applicants found the day they apply.
  • Credential tracking: licenses stay current after day one.
  • Call-out cover: ready people go straight onto the schedule.

You become the employer new people recommend to their friends.

New hires do real work on day one, because everything was ready.

Yours won't look exactly like this. A first conversation is where we work out what it should look like.

Talk it through with us before a thing gets built.
