Why teams set up onboarding in FirstHR

Hiring soon, paperwork piling up, steps slipping as the team grows. Without a system, it looks like this.

Build the plan once, launch it, watch it run

Onboarding in FirstHR has three parts: the wizard, tracking and templates. Each one has its own page.

Onboarding Wizard

From invite to fully onboarded

An invite, three steps in the wizard, and nothing reaches the new hire until you launch.

Paperwork done before day one

Pre-boarding is the first phase of every plan. Whatever you put there reaches the new hire the moment you launch, once they've accepted their invite.

The new hire always knows the next step

They see one stage at a time, one card per item with a single button, and the person to ask.

See who is on track and who is stuck

Active Onboardings lists everyone in progress, as a list or as a board by stage. Late items are marked, so you see them without messaging anyone.

AI suggests items for every phase and checks the plan for legal gaps

You add what you want: nothing goes in on its own, and the check is a first pass, not legal advice. AI credits are included: 1,000 a month on Team, 3,000 on Business.

Nothing goes out by accident

You check the plan before anything goes out, and what's been signed stays signed.
