Automated Worker Onboarding

A guided Worker Portal experience that collects required employment forms, signatures, and role-based screening so workers can start as soon as 2 to 4 business days.

FoxHire Automates the Onboarding Chaos

Most onboarding delays happen when requirements are unclear, ownership is split across too many people, or steps live in multiple systems.

Recruiters and HR teams are left chasing forms.
Workers are unsure what to complete next.
Start dates slip because no one has a clear view of what is finished and what is not.

This is the gap FoxHire onboarding is designed to close.

Workers move through onboarding step by step

The FoxHire Worker Portal gives each worker a clear, structured onboarding path. Instead of scattered emails or disconnected forms, workers complete required steps in a guided sequence, all in one place.

From Employee Details and tax forms to I-9 verification and direct deposit, each task appears when it is needed. If additional requirements apply, such as background checks or client-specific acknowledgements, those steps are built into the same flow.

This keeps onboarding predictable and easier to manage, especially when you are onboarding multiple workers at once.

Compliance

Screening and credentialing built in

Some assignments require more than standard employment paperwork. When needed, FoxHire onboarding supports additional steps such as background screenings, disclosures and authorizations, credential verification, healthcare screenings, or drug testing.

These requirements are presented within the Worker Portal so workers know exactly what is needed and teams can track progress without manual follow-up.

  • Background screening

  • Consumer report authorizations and screening steps integrated into the workflow

  • Drug testing

Documents

Onboarding documents in one place

Required employment documents and acknowledgements are completed electronically through the Worker Portal. This includes employment contracts, payroll policies, privacy and disclosure consents, and the Employee Handbook.

Signed documents remain available in the portal throughout the assignment, reducing rework and making it easier to reference policies and employment information when questions come up.

Employment contracts

Signed and dated contracts stored securely with full audit trail

Payroll policy

Workers acknowledge payment schedules, deductions, and compensation terms upfront

Privacy and disclosure

Consent forms collected and documented for data handling and background checks

Employee handbook

Handbook delivery and acknowledgement tracked automatically for compliance

Continuity

One portal stays with workers throughout the assignment

Onboarding is just the beginning. After onboarding is complete, the same Worker Portal is used to submit and track timesheets and expenses, access pay stubs, and view employment documents.

This creates a consistent experience for workers and reduces administrative friction for recruiters and client teams over the life of the assignment.

Audit-ready workflows

Every step documented with timestamps and digital signatures for compliance.

Secure access control

Worker information restricted to authorized parties with legitimate business need.

Predictable timelines

Start dates move only as fast as onboarding completion, keeping placements on track.

Scale with consistency

Manage multiple placements through one system without manual back-and-forth.

Workflow

A streamlined onboarding process

FoxHire simplifies employee onboarding by providing a secure Worker Portal and automated workflow that keeps every step clear and organized. With instant portal access, workers complete required tasks directly in the system while FoxHire manages the employment and compliance process behind the scenes. Your team stays in control by setting expectations up front, communicating with the worker throughout onboarding, and confirming completion before the start date, without chasing paperwork or juggling reminders. The result is a faster, more reliable onboarding experience that protects start dates and helps workers hit the ground running on day one.

Send portal access immediately

As soon as portal access is sent, workers log in to a secure system that clearly outlines every required onboarding step. By your team directing workers to their own portals, it eliminates confusion, lost documents, and fragmented communication.

Workers complete onboarding

Workers complete onboarding requirements in sequence, including employment forms, acknowledgements, and any role-specific or client-required items. Each step builds on the last, creating a consistent onboarding workflow that is easy to track and manage across multiple workers.

Assignment begins on schedule

Once onboarding is fully completed and verified, the worker is cleared to start. With requirements completed ahead of time, teams avoid last-minute issues and workers are prepared to begin their assignment as planned.
