The Onboarding Checklist feature aids hiring managers in managing the steps required to integrate new staff into the company. Administrators can create, edit, clone, and delete tasks within these checklists to streamline the onboarding process. Before starting the onboarding process, make sure the employee’s location, team, and primary manager are correct. This will ensure we trigger the appropriate tasks for the right individuals. Note that if the tasks feature is hidden from the side menu, the onboarding checklist feature cannot be used.
