"I previously worked for a fintech startup that grew substantially in size over the years while I was there. Initially, when the company was small and only hired a few people a year, there wasn't any need to worry about spending money on software to streamline the onboarding process for new hires. I just used an Excel spreadsheet to record the necessary information that was gathered from the new employees when they started. But as we grew, we started to hire new employees more frequently until the responsibility of gathering and recording all the necessary documentation for each new person started to become quite cumbersome. In order to save money and time, I researched and selected a new program that streamlined this whole process for us. The new hires were then able to fill out and save their documentation online without anyone having to email back and forth with them a million times. This also made it easier to set up payroll and retirement savings accounts for them. In the end, this saved the company money because the process was made so much more efficient."
