FAQ

Everything About Employee Onboarding

Common questions about onboarding time, offer letters, and compliance.

How long does onboarding take with employee onboarding software?

Average onboarding time drops from 45 days to 3 days. Digital offer letters go out instantly, documents are collected on mobile, BGV runs in parallel, and induction starts on Day 1 with pre-configured workflows for HR, IT, and admin teams.

How do digital offer letters work?

Generate branded offer letters with CTC breakdowns, joining terms, and clause variations per role and grade. Candidates receive a secure link, review the offer, and e-sign from any device through DigiLocker or third-party signature providers. Auto-reminders follow up until acceptance.

How is document verification handled for new hires?

Employees upload Aadhaar, PAN, bank details, and educational certificates through the mobile onboarding app. The system verifies documents against government databases in real-time, flags mismatches instantly, and routes exceptions to HR for manual review.

Do you support Aadhaar and PAN verification?

Yes. Direct integration with DigiLocker and UIDAI for Aadhaar verification and the Income Tax database for PAN verification. Both happen digitally in seconds without manual data entry, eliminating the typical 2-week document chasing cycle.

What about background verification (BGV)?

Integrated with leading Indian BGV providers including OnGrid, SpringVerify, and AuthBridge. Criminal record check, education verification, employment history, address verification, and reference checks are triggered automatically when the candidate accepts the offer.

What does the pre-boarding portal include?

Company welcome kit, organisation chart, reporting manager details, team introductions, company policies, culture videos, and pre-joining tasks. Everything accessible from mobile or web before Day 1 to reduce drop-offs during long notice periods.

Is the platform EPFO and statutory compliance ready?

Fully. Auto-generates UAN for new employees, links EPFO accounts, completes ESI IP generation, handles Form 11 and nomination forms digitally, and triggers Professional Tax registration based on work-state. Complete audit trail for Labour Department inspections.

How quickly can we go live with the onboarding system?

Most Indian companies go live in 2 to 3 business days. Day 1 we configure offer letter templates and document checklists, Day 2 we connect BGV vendors and asset workflows, Day 3 we train HR, IT, and admin teams. Data migration and training are included.

How is your onboarding software better than Keka, GreytHR, Zoho People, Darwinbox, or HROne?

We focus on Indian-grade depth: deeper Aadhaar and DigiLocker integration, BGV vendor network coverage, IT asset workflow connecting HR with admin and IT teams, EPFO and ESI auto-registration, and 2 to 3 day implementation. Many alternatives charge BGV or asset workflows as add-ons.

Can we migrate from Keka or Zoho People without losing onboarding records?

Yes. Our migration team imports active offers in flight, pending document checklists, BGV reports, and induction history from Keka, GreytHR, Zoho People, Darwinbox, HROne, or Excel. Active joiners continue their workflow on the new platform without re-uploading.

What is the actual setup cost beyond the per-employee fee?

Standard onboarding has no setup fee. The per-employee monthly price is the price. Custom integrations with non-standard BGV vendors, multi-entity rollouts above five companies, or migration from in-house onboarding ERP may be quoted separately. Free trial covers full feature access.

Where is candidate and new-hire data hosted? Is the platform DPDP Act 2023 compliant?

Offer letters, BGV reports, identity proofs, and signed documents are hosted on Indian cloud infrastructure for data residency. The platform is aligned with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 with documented consent flows, employee data principal rights, retention policies, and a named Grievance Officer.

Does the platform support contract employees and bulk batch onboarding?

Yes. Contract workers and consultants get separate onboarding workflows under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. Batch onboarding for 50+ joiners in a single day is supported with bulk document collection, group induction sessions, and shared training modules.

What support do we get during the first batch of new hires?

You get a dedicated onboarding consultant during onboarding plus weekly check-ins through your first batch of new joiners. Email, chat, and helpdesk support are included on every plan. Premium and Ultimate plans add priority response and a dedicated success manager for ongoing optimisation.
