Centralized hiring processes for 800+ new employees a year, single entry, flowing to every system.
A construction company hiring ~800 employees a year ran onboarding by hand. New hires entered the same information 20+ times across six different forms.
Tax form, company form, HR form, payroll form, safety form, equipment/access form, same name, address, tax info, and emergency contacts, over and over. New hires were confused. Duplicates landed in different systems. Compliance gaps opened up.
HR and payroll spent 20–30 minutes per hire gathering and re-entering data, and superintendents routinely had to pause work just to verify a new hire’s records before someone could start.
Mapped what information was needed and why, which forms were duplicative, where errors happened, what compliance required, and which systems needed the data.
Centralized onboarding: new hire enters information once, data flows to all systems automatically, compliance built in, role-based views, transparent status.
Built a single onboarding system, integrated payroll/compliance/access, created role-based workflows, tested with cohorts, and trained HR and payroll.
One process per hire. Data flows automatically, compliance documents itself, access provisions automatically, and HR focuses on relationships, not entry.
One form per system seems reasonable, until 800 hires becomes 4,800 forms.
Make it one process and 800 hires a year becomes manageable without manual work.
When compliance is part of onboarding, it's automatic and consistent.
You can onboard 10 people by hand. At 800 a year, only the system keeps pace.
Tell me about your onboarding, hiring, or process challenges. If you're doing it manually, it can likely be automated.
