Staffing onboarding software workers complete from their phone.
I-9 verification, direct deposit setup, background check consent, and e-signed documents, all done from the worker's phone the same day they apply. The faster workers get through onboarding, the faster they show up, and the lower your no-show rate.
The Problem
Slow onboarding is a no-show problem in disguise.
Every day between application and first shift is a day a worker can change their mind, take a different offer, or simply stop responding. PDF packets, in-person paperwork requirements, and multi-day approval chains are not just slow; they are a direct driver of no-shows.
PDF forms and paper packets
Workers receive a PDF, fill it out, scan it, and email it back. Half of them never finish. The other half submit forms with errors.
In-person onboarding requirements
Requiring workers to come into the office adds a barrier that drops out candidates who have jobs, kids, or no transportation.
Multi-day processing
When onboarding takes three to five days, the worker has applied somewhere else by the time you are ready to place them.
Paperwork as a ghost risk
Workers who have not completed onboarding have not committed. An incomplete packet is an early sign of a no-show.
The Solution
Digital onboarding for staffing agencies, completed in the worker app, in minutes.
Workers download your branded app, complete every onboarding step from their phone, and are ready to be placed the same day. Every completed step is a signal that the worker is serious, and serious workers show up.
Mobile-first from step one
Workers complete onboarding on iOS or Android with no office visit required. The entire flow is built for a phone screen, not a desktop browser.
E-signature
Offer letters, work agreements, policies, and compliance documents are signed digitally in the app. No printing, scanning, or emailing.
I-9 verification
Workers submit identity documents through the app. Coordinators review and verify remotely. The I-9 record is stored in the worker's profile.
Background check consent
Background check authorization is built into the onboarding flow. Workers consent and submit in one step, without leaving the app.
Direct deposit setup
Workers enter banking information during onboarding so their first paycheck arrives on time, with no follow-up required from your team.
Credential and document collection
Certifications, licenses, and required documents are uploaded directly in the app and attached to the worker's profile automatically.
Onboarding speed = no-show prevention
Onboarding speed is a no-show prevention strategy.
Workers who complete digital onboarding quickly are more committed to their first shift. They have set up direct deposit, signed their offer letter, and downloaded your app. That investment in the process builds accountability before day one.
Faster onboarding, lower drop-off
Workers who complete in one session are significantly more likely to show up than those who return over multiple days.
Branded app creates accountability
When workers use an app with your agency's name, they feel connected to your brand, not to a generic platform.
Fewer coordinator follow-ups
Automated reminders in the app prompt workers to complete missing steps, without your team chasing them by phone.
The flow
From apply to ready-to-work — same day.
Worker applies, downloads your app
I-9 and ID documents submitted
Offer letter and policies e-signed
Direct deposit set up in the app
Ready to be placed — same day
