Streamline onboarding readiness before the hiring surge
A workflow can remove handoffs only if the new path is trusted at every sensitive boundary.
Hiring urgency rewards speed, while employee data and downstream actions leave little room for unverified assumptions.
“I can’t have new hires chasing laptops and logins on their first day again.”
