Security first
Built for sensitive onboarding documents.
Every upload is encrypted. Every link expires. Every access is logged. Sensitive data stays out of email, and out of the wrong hands.
Expiring magic links
Each recipient gets a unique link that expires and can be revoked or regenerated any time.
Role-based access
Control who on your team can view, edit, or approve each onboarding.
Activity visibility
Every upload, view, and edit is logged. You always know who did what, and when.
Files out of email threads
No attachments in threads, no forwarded PDFs. Documents live in one auditable place.
TLS 1.3 in transit • AES-256 at rest • Least-privilege access • Audit log per onboarding
New Hires Show Up Before the Paperwork Does
You make a great hire, then rebuild the same onboarding from scratch and chase the I-9, W-4, direct deposit, handbook sign-off, and equipment details across email and PDFs. Half of it trickles in on day one, so the first day is spent on forms instead of getting the new hire productive.
Great hire made, but you are chasing I-9s, W-4s, and sign-offs across email, and day one gets spent on forms.
Sound familiar?

Employee Onboarding, Before vs. After
Before
- The same new-hire packet rebuilt for every person
- I-9 and W-4 chased down on the first morning
- Direct deposit and emergency contacts collected ad hoc
- Handbook and policy sign-offs never quite complete
- No clear status on who is ready for day one
- The first day spent on forms, not real work
- New-hire packet rebuilt every time
- I-9 and W-4 chased on day one
- Direct deposit collected ad hoc
- Sign-offs never quite complete
- No clear day-one readiness
- First day spent on forms
After
- One link with every form and sign-off the new hire needs
- I-9, W-4, and direct deposit completed before day one
- Policy and handbook sign-offs on record
- Equipment and access details captured up front
- Real-time status: complete / waiting / missing
- New hires productive from their first day
- One link with every form and sign-off
- Paperwork done before day one
- New hires productive on day one

Fewer dropped balls
Real-time status means nothing sits in someone’s inbox for two weeks.
Better onboarding experience
One clean link. A checklist they can follow. No logins, no confusion, no "did you get my email?"

Can I collect policy and handbook acknowledgments?
Yes. Attach your handbook or policies and request acknowledgment as a step. Each sign-off is captured and logged, so you have a clean record for every new hire.
Do new hires need to create an account?
No. New hires access their portal via a magic link sent by email. No signup, no password, no app to install. They click the link, see their checklist, and start completing steps immediately.

Does this replace my HRIS or payroll system?
No. OnboardMap is the new-hire-facing intake you send before day one. It complements Gusto, Rippling, BambooHR, or whatever HR and payroll system you use internally.
Can new hires upload files securely?
Yes. All uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Files go directly to your portal, not email. Uploads are tied to specific requests so nothing gets lost.
