automated our new hire onboarding and it cut 2 days of admin work

posting this because i literally cannot believe how much time this saved us we hire about 3-4 people a month and the onboarding used to be a nightmare of paperwork, emails, and people forgetting steps. someone would get their laptop but no one set up their email. or theyd get email access but no one added them to the right slack channels heres what we built: hiring manager fills out a "new hire" form with: name, role, department, start date, manager, equipment needs workflow runs: - creates employee record in our people table - sends welcome email to the new hire with first day info - sends IT a request to set up accounts (email, slack, tools) - schedules a reminder workflow for 3 days before start date to verify everything is ready - on start date: sends the manager a "first day checklist" email - day 3: sends the new hire a check-in survey form the whole thing runs itself. we went from someone spending 2 full days coordinating via email to literally just filling out one form if youre in HR or people ops and still doing this manually... please stop. build this. it took us like 3 days and its been flawless for 2 months
