Company Overview

A fast-growing staffing agency delivering contract and temporary workforce solutions was onboarding hundreds of employees every month across multiple client locations.

As placement volumes increased, the payroll onboarding process became increasingly difficult to manage. Payroll agreements, tax forms, bank details, employee declarations, and compliance documents were still collected through emails, spreadsheets, and printed paperwork.

To eliminate manual payroll administration and accelerate payroll readiness, the staffing agency partnered with eSigns.io's AI-powered Document Management System and Digital Agreements platform.

The Challenge: Manual Payroll Onboarding Delayed Workforce Readiness

Speed is everything. Deploying candidates faster is what every client expects from day one in the staffing industry. Because of a manual and slow payroll onboarding process, our client has faced the following challenges.

Key Pain Points:

High-Volume, High-Turnover Onboarding

As this leading staffing industry deals with high-volume recruitment, new hires get onboarded every week across various client locations. Hence, manual preparation and sharing the same set of documents for each candidate lead to adding more staff.

Delayed Payroll Readiness

A single unsigned payroll document, such as a tax form, bank authorization, etc., could delay candidates' first paycheck. As a result, candidates' trust might get hurt and lead to early dropouts.

No Centralized View of Onboarding Status

Without real-time visibility, the teams and candidates of a high-volume staffing firm have no single way to check whether a candidate was actually ready to be deployed and paid.

Manual Compliance and Verification Checks

Spending hours chasing signatures, collecting signed tax declarations, ID proofs, and consent forms via email, and manually searching for missing or incorrect documents led to payroll cutoffs and compliance risks for our client.

Disconnected Client-Side Agreements

Due to the rise of client service agreements and work orders run through a separate, slower process. Hence, it often challenged the agency in delaying deployment even after a candidate was fully onboarded.

These are some of the main hurdles faced by this high-volume staffing firm in delivering fast, reliable onboarding. Let’s check how eSigns resolved them in no time and provided a great experience to the payroll management team.

Bulk Document Sending for High-volume Spending

eSigns bulk send feature lets HR send offer letters and payroll forms to an entire batch of candidates at once. This is especially useful when onboarding large groups for a new client contract.

Digital Client Service Agreements

Client-side agreements and work orders now run through the same eSigns workflow as candidate onboarding. Deployment no longer waits on a separate approval chain.

Not just automated workflows and digital signatures, eSigns.io is capable of offering advanced features for managing the employee lifecycle digitally in staffing and other industries.

Payroll onboarding used to be our biggest bottleneck, especially during high-volume hiring weeks. With eSigns.io, candidates sign everything online, and our payroll team can see exactly who's ready to go. What used to take us weeks now takes a few days.”
