We hear all the talk about how beneficial it is to personalize your onboarding, recruiting and management initiatives, but how much extra time do you have in your day to create a personalized email for every new hire, much less more than one? Chances are, you are as swamped as the next recruiter or HR Practitioner. But that doesn’t mean you can’t send out great emails that let your new hire know you’re excited to have them there!

Click Boarding has just checked the box on our latest feature to make your onboarding process easier and take less time: Tasks.
With Tasks you can seamlessly distribute the wide range of items that need to be accomplished in order to onboard your new hires.
We’re excited about this because it’s going to bring the difficult job of juggling your must-do hiring items completely within your control. No more stress. No more last minute running around. You can now create task lists and attach them to just the right point in your onboarding process. This means they will be sent out to right person at the right time, every time.
There is a lot to do when onboarding a new hire! Whew. In order to make this easier, Tasks can be set up to be automatically sent to Roles (like Coordinator, Hiring Manager, or Recruiter) or any other users that you have added into the Click Boarding system. This flexibility will allow you to easily manage who needs to complete your tasks.
Tasks won’t get lost anymore! When tasks are created, an email will be automatically sent to the person that is assigned to complete them. It will include a link to bring them to the task list along with a due date to let them know when it needs to be completed.
When you start to work on a Task list, you can check off the completed items and return to the remaining items when you have time. We save your progress so you can pick up right where you left off.
At any time, you can view the state of anyone’s task list by checking the Candidate Status and opening the Process Details. This will show you who’s tasks are still in progress.
Fear not, at any time you can reassign a Task to someone else. Simply locate the task and reassign it to someone else. That way Jane can enjoy her vacation, and the tasks still get completed.
We’re very excited to be bringing you this new release of Tasks! Contact us for any other feature requests, and be sure to subscribe to get the latest and greatest updated delivered directly to your inbox.

Small numbers mean big things when it comes to business growth. Just look at how large of a shift it was for the United State’s GDP to grow 2.4%. So when we think about business growth, we have to think about all the ways we can make those small increases add up. One thing we recommend? Paperless onboarding.
When you implement paperless onboarding into your hiring process, you’ll be thinking ahead of most other companies against which you’re competing. Only 32% of companies currently have a formal onboarding program. If you decide to increase your onboarding presence by making it paperless, you’re committing enough to your onboarding to have a more robust and streamlined process in place, meaning you’re far ahead on getting employees up to speed than companies that don’t have a plan.
You hate paperwork. Your new hires hate paperwork. So why not use paperless onboarding? When you go paperless, many of the redundant fields (like your new hire’s name, address, etc.) get filled in automatically on every form if that field has been filled in once before. This reduces the amount of times your employees spend on forms, which means it takes them less time to get up to speed and productive. You can have more time for introducing your new hire to potential mentors, showing them the lunchroom, getting them adjusted, and giving them time to make their desk their own. That sounds like a better first day, don’t you think?
When all of your paperwork is stored online, in one place, with handy searching functionality, it makes things easier to locate and reference. Compare that to paper filing cabinets, which are either very secure and difficult to look through, or so disorganized you don’t event know where to start. Throw in the fact that every misfiled piece of paper costs a business an average of $125, cutting down on those errors can save you a lump sum over time. With paperless onboarding, you’re much better off with all of your information stored online.
Not only is paperless onboarding easier to reference, it’s cheaper, too. You might be paying a little extra to manage all your online documents somewhere, but trust us, the results are worth it. The average office worker uses around 10,000 sheets of paper per year. Imagine cutting this down to 100, or 0. How much money would your business save? Now imagine that across 10, 100, or 1,000 employees. The upfront cost of paperless onboarding doesn’t seem so bad now, does it?
Part of a good paperless onboarding program is making sure employees feel welcomed and comfortable enough to stick around. And with a more simplified, formal and paperless onboarding experience, your new hires are less likely to be among the 22% of employees who leave their job after the first 45 days. This saves you the hassle of having to start the recruiting process (including onboarding) all over again. A lack of paper makes everyone happy, and when employees are happy, they’ll love working for you, giving big returns on business growth in the long run.
There’s a lot to love about going paperless with your onboarding: it’s fast, cheap and keeps employees around longer, for starters. So the sooner you get your onboarding away from paper, the better off your business will be.
Click Boarding, employee onboarding software, helps welcome, certify and introduce your candidates to their new job without ever printing a single sheet of paper. Sign up for a demo today!

This might sound like a no-brainer, but you’d surprised how many companies don’t think about their onboarding procedures until after they hire their employee. When you build the hiring process with onboarding as a key component, it makes it easier to file the necessary paperwork and make sure all required company information has been covered. Onboarding is such an essential part of the hiring process that the University of California Riverside, for example, includes it in their new hire flow chart.
No one wants to wade through all the forms needed to make sure a new hire’s legally allowed to work for you, but it’s a necessary part of the process. There’s no way around it, but there are a few things you can do to make sure the process is as painless as possible. One thing you can do is ensure your onboarding forms are covered before day one. It’s what as many as 83% of companies in a recent SHRM poll do, and for good reason. When all of these things are taken care of, you’re free to move on to more important matters, like…
The new hire process puts incredible emphasis on making a good impression. When you take the time to do a proper introduction to the company, you get more successful employees. According to the SHRM survey, 66% of companies have greater success assimilating employees to the company culture when they invest in good onboarding.
Chances are your employee won’t know everything about your company after their first day. So, when you’re planning out your new hire process flow, make sure you factor in a full introduction schedule based around the first week. What’s more, make sure you’re not letting employees sit idly for too long. Maynard Webb, Chairman at Yahoo, suggests managers keep tabs on new employees regularly during their first week.
“Take 20 minutes every day for the first week or two to investigate how it is going. You can instantly tell if someone is struggling or succeeding and iterate to make things work more smoothly. Always ask, ‘What do you need from me?’”
When writing up your new hire process flow, don’t write “and then we’re done” anywhere on it. Onboarding is the process of teaching the intricacies of the job an employee has been hired to do. Typically, that takes a lot longer than one week to accomplish. Since employees who went through a structured onboarding program are 58% more likely to stick with a company for more than three years, you can plan milestones and yearly goals with confidence. Give your new hires something to aim for on a regular basis, whether it’s being more productive or getting a big project off the ground before the end of their first year.
There’s more to onboarding than these five steps, especially when you start breaking them down (just how do you introduce an employee to your company culture, anyway?). Let Click Boarding help get you started. Our employee onboarding software can be your recruiting team’s personal flow chart to help track and manage the onboarding steps from the time an offer is sent to a candidate to their first day.
