Day one runs itself.

The moment a contract begins, HourSquare fans out tasks to IT, Finance, the new hire's manager, and a buddy — no one wonders what they owe. Status is live, blockers visible, and the new hire gets a clean checklist instead of a Notion page from 2019.

The same engine runs exits — equipment returned, knowledge transferred, final payslip issued, login disabled — all linked so nothing slips on the last day.

  • check_circleExit checklist auto-generated from a template, owner per task
  • check_circleEquipment return, knowledge transfer, final payslip wired together
  • check_circleLogin disable handed to identity service on the exit date
  • check_circleFull audit trail of every step + who completed it

How it flows

Contract signed. Day one, ready.

A six-step pipeline that runs in the background. You set up the template once; every new hire flows through it without you nudging anyone.

  1. 01

    Contract effective date hits

    The system reads contract start date and matches the role to a template.

  2. 02

    Tasks fan out to owners

    IT, Finance, Manager, Buddy — each gets their queue with due dates and docs.

  3. 03

    New hire sees their checklist

    A guided day-one experience — not a Notion page from 2019.

  4. 04

    Owners complete tasks; status updates live

    Hardware ready, accounts created, NDA signed — all visible to HR in real time.

  5. 05

    Blockers surface automatically

    A late IT step shows up red on the dashboard — HR sees it before the hire does.

  6. 06

    Onboarding closes; audit log archives

    Full trail of every action, exportable for compliance reviews.

Where teams use this

Three real shapes of onboarding.

devices

IT-heavy setups

Laptops, accounts, badges, VPN — IT sees the queue, the manager sees IT's blockers, the new hire sees the date everything is ready.

contract

Paperwork-heavy hires

Tax forms, NDAs, ID verification — required documents attach to tasks. Status reflects what's signed; nothing lives in "the email somewhere."

public

Multi-country teams

Different country packs, different document sets, one template per jurisdiction. The flow is identical, the rules per row are not.
