A well-known US staffing agency specializing in IT, administrative, and non-technical hiring manages extensive documentation across multiple regions. The firm associates with nationwide mid-market and enterprise clients and runs massive recruitment drives that usually onboard dozens of candidates within tight deadlines.
To stay competitive, the agency required a technology-based solution that could reduce onboarding time from days to hours, while ensuring accurate documentation, faster approvals, and scalable workflows.
As their industry is growing with massive recruitment drives, staffing teams have started facing various challenges, such as:
Our staffing agency’s recruitment team used to spend more than 2-3 business days on the manual onboarding process, from offer letters, I-9s, W-4s, and Background Check forms creation to approvals. Thus, it results in delayed placements and increased pressure from clients.
Hiring teams of our leading company relied mostly on follow-ups to collect pending signatures on candidates' documents. With such heavy paperwork, they encountered delays in employee onboarding.
Working with disconnected systems, outdated templates, missing data, and incomplete forms led to repeated corrections, inconsistent document formats, document resubmissions, and slower onboarding.
The traditional document storage process across emails and shared folders made it challenging for our client to maintain audit-ready records and compliance.
Due to heavy documentation processes across departments, recruiters had little visibility into the document process, which made it difficult to track document status during onboarding.
In today’s digital market, candidates also expect digital signing via their phone in minutes. But paper-based onboarding processes created friction for candidates during onboarding. Thus, it impacted onboarding speed, candidate satisfaction, and turnaround times.
Due to large-scale placement drives and a lack of scalability, the agency’s operational teams struggled to manage manual onboarding workflows efficiently.
As candidate onboarding increased, managing documents through emails and shared folders became difficult. The agency struggled to control access to sensitive candidate information, creating security and compliance risks.
To modernize staffing workflows, the agency shifted its vision to upgrade from paper-based to intelligent technology-based electronic document management software. This is where esigns.io came into the picture.
