About Vector Media

A completely automated employee onboarding process

Challenge

A manual, time-consuming onboarding process with up to 30 steps. The complex process ate up valuable time for the PeopleOps team and caused confusion for new hires when they missed steps.

Solution

New employees start by signinf their handbook, which triggers a 29-step Zap, powered by Zapier Tables. The workflow ticks off dozens of onboarding tasks, like password creation and laptop assignments. The table also serves as a dashboard for the PeopleOps team.

Results

The PeopleOps team saves an hour for every new employee onboarded, giving them more time for creative tasks—all while new hires enjoy seamless, error-free experiences.

“Our onboarding process has gotten so much smoother because we never have to worry about someone dropping the ball. It has created layers of redundancy and visibility that weren’t there before. Now, if there is a failure, we can jump on it before the employee that’s being onboarded is even aware.”
