The Onboarding Checklist feature helps hiring managers manage any necessary steps to introduce new staff to the company. It allows an administrator to generate a list of tasks to be implemented during the onboarding process. They can edit, clone and delete individual tasks, as well as delete onboarding checklists.

Checklists by location and/or a specific employee is not possible; only via teams is currently possible.
