Manual HR processes slow down new hires
Onboarding is a critical stage for employee experience. However, managing documents manually — contracts, NDAs, benefits forms — creates bottlenecks, manual errors, and a heavy administrative burden for your HR team.
Main negative impacts:
HR administrative overload
Preparing each file individually consumes valuable time that should be spent on human support.
Risk of errors and omissions
Manual handling increases the risk of missing signatures or sending outdated documents.
Degraded employee experience
A slow, paper-heavy process on day one hurts new talent engagement.
Swiftask enables your AI agents to control Papersign to generate and send personalized documents as soon as a new employee is added to your HRIS, ensuring a smooth and professional onboarding.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Without Swiftask
The HR manager manually creates the contract, downloads it, uploads it to the signing tool, adds fields, and sends the email. They must then track follow-ups manually until final signature.
With Swiftask + Papersign
As soon as the candidate enters the workflow, the AI agent generates the contract via Papersign, inserts variable data, and sends the signing request. The status is updated automatically in your database.
4 steps to automate your HR onboarding
1
STEP 1 : Define your templates
Upload your HR documents to Papersign and identify the dynamic fields (name, salary, date) to be filled by the AI.
2
STEP 2 : Configure your Swiftask agent
Create an agent in Swiftask and connect it to your data source (HRIS, form) and your Papersign account.
3
STEP 3 : Set up the trigger workflow
Define the trigger event: for example, the approval of a new hire in your recruiting tool.
4
STEP 4 : Active automation
The agent takes over, generates the documents, and monitors their progress autonomously.
