Typical target ranges, validated in diagnostic.
Onboarding held up by paperwork
A large employer runs HR across several systems. New joiners submit documents by email, HR checks them by hand, and compliance training and acknowledgements are tracked in spreadsheets. Onboarding takes weeks, records are incomplete when auditors ask, and HR teams spend their time chasing paperwork.
How it works
1
Trigger
An accepted offer in the HCM system starts an onboarding workflow automatically.
2
Collect
New joiners upload documents through a guided portal.
3
Classify and check
AI classifies documents, extracts key fields and checks completeness and validity.
4
Route exceptions
Missing or unclear documents go to HR with the issue highlighted.
5
Track compliance
Required training, policies and acknowledgements are assigned and tracked to completion.
6
Report
Dashboards show onboarding status, compliance completion and bottlenecks.
