Solution Overview

Using the Ultimus New Hire process, companies can automate employee onboarding forms and decrease the time and speed at which this process is completed.

1. The request to hire is sent to the approval board

  • The hiring manager submits a request for hire to the approval board which comprises of HR and high-level executives
  • The request includes the job description and reason for the new hire
  • After the hiring manager fills out the pre-populated form, it is sent to the approval board (identified through organization chart)

2. Approval board accepts or denies

  • Request for a new hire arrives in the approval board’s inbox
  • They review the request
  • After review, they either accept or deny the new hire request
  • If approved, the job is posted online; if denied, the process ends

3. Interviews are conducted

  • After HR receives applications through the Ultimus New Hire process, they decide which applicants to interview
  • All applicant and interview data is recorded and stored in Ultimus
  • HR and hiring managers review each applicant and decide on the ideal candidate

4. Offer is made

  • Upon agreement between HR and the Hiring Manager, and offer is verbally and electronically made to the ideal candidate
  • The candidate can either accept or deny the offer
  • If accepted, the new hire agrees to the offer and completes the necessary onboarding forms
  • If the offer is denied, the job is reposted and the process starts again

The Ultimus New Hire process ensures that complete and correct new hire data is submitted and stored properly. In addition, HR departments have increased time to perform a more thorough analysis of potential hires rather than chasing down paperwork. This helps improve the overall quality of personnel being hired and ensures they are compensated on a more level playing field.
