Offer letter signing online — onboard before day one.
The offer letter, the W-4, the handbook acknowledgment — signed on a phone before your new hire even has a desk. No paper to chase, and no per-seat subscription for a tool you really use a handful of times a year.
Paper onboarding is slow, and slow is expensive.
SHRM put the average cost to hire at roughly $4,100 per new employee in its 2024 reporting — and every day a great candidate sits in limbo waiting on paperwork is a day they might keep interviewing elsewhere. The offer letter that takes three days to print, sign, scan, and email back is a soft spot in your whole process.
The usual e-sign tools don't help much either. Most are sold by the seat, which is a strange fit for HR: you might onboard five people in one week and then nobody for two months. Paying year-round per-seat pricing for occasional bulk sends is exactly the kind of waste a small team can't justify.
Onboarding should feel like a warm welcome, not a fax-machine relay race. The first thing a new hire experiences from you shouldn't be friction.
