How It Works

How Guidez powers New Employee Onboarding in HR Technology SaaS

1

Identify new employee type and role

Pass employee_type (full-time, part-time, contractor), department, and start_date via identify(). Show role-appropriate onboarding checklists from day one.

2

Guide through profile and documentation setup

Checklist-driven onboarding covers I-9 verification, personal information entry, emergency contact setup, and direct deposit configuration — the compliance-critical first-day tasks.

3

Walk through benefits and policy acknowledgment

Benefits enrollment tours guide employees through health insurance selection, retirement plan enrollment, and PTO policy — the decisions employees most often get wrong without guidance.

4

Drive to productivity milestones

A 30-day new hire checklist keeps employees on track through their first month — covering training completions, system access setups, and first project milestones.
