Onboarding new hires

The onboarding of new hires is a critical, yet often flawed, process that significantly impacts employee retention, productivity, and overall company culture. Businesses face systemic challenges including poor employee experiences, information overload, lack of structured processes, and difficulties with remote/hybrid integration. Despite a crowded market with established HR software, significant gaps exist in personalized, integrated, and efficient onboarding solutions, indicating a strong opportunity for targeted software products.

Sample user voices

"I love the new employee experience. Now payslips get synced straight into our HR system (HiBob) and everyone can delete the horrible MyEPayWindow website from their bookmarks."

"I've walked a couple hundred customers (American small business owners) through installing an unsigned MacOS application.There was plenty of friction for enough of them to cause us onboarding problems and for us to invest in doing it the Apple way."
