When to use it.
New Hire Onboarding is a six-step form a new starter fills in between signing their offer and their first day; most people answer 27 questions in about six minutes. It collects legal and preferred names, pronouns and contact details, then a start-date check, Mac or Windows, keyboard, monitors and accessibility needs. It also covers dietary needs for a welcome lunch, an emergency contact, a bio, fun fact and headshot for the team page, and the handbook sign-off. Payroll and right-to-work details are kept out on purpose, with a note pointing to a separate secure link.
