In today\u2019s dynamic job market, the speed with which you bring on new talent can significantly impact the candidate experience. However, many departments are held back on a daily basis by manual tasks, redundant paperwork, and slow procedures that unnecessarily prolong the process.<\/p>\n
In this article, we\u2019ll explain what administrative friction is in Human Resources, what the most common bottlenecks in your workflow are, and what tools will help you transform manual procedures into a digital, agile, and hassle-free process, leading to frictionless hiring.<\/p>\n
Onboarding talent is arguably one of the organizational phases that involves the most documentation on a daily basis. This ranges from receiving the candidate\u2019s documents<\/strong> to signing the contract and handling any related paperwork (system registration, opening personnel files<\/strong>), not to mention granting access to certain tools and systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For the new employee, this workflow represents their first real experience with the methods and culture of the company they are joining. Ideally, the onboarding process should be frictionless and perceived as a professional, seamless, and well-structured experience; however, unforeseen issues arise in day-to-day work that can negatively impact the candidate\u2019s experience:<\/p>\n This situation, repeated by thousands of companies throughout the year\u2014regardless of the industry they operate in or the country they\u2019re located in\u2014has a name: hiring friction<\/strong>, or administrative friction (although in this case, the term extends to all procedures and documents handled by this department).<\/p>\n Now, is there a solution to this invisible bureaucracy that slows down your onboarding and undermines the talent experience? The answer is a resounding yes. Although this bureaucracy may seem like an inevitable evil, it is merely a symptom of outdated processes.<\/p>\n Today, there are countless tools that companies can use to streamline the hiring process and any other procedures handled by the Human Resources department.<\/p>\n These platforms enable the remote sending and signing of documents<\/strong>, regardless of the signers\u2019 location, allowing candidates to complete and submit their documentation from any mobile device.<\/p>\n Additionally, depending on the specific advanced electronic signature platform, it may include extra features, as is the case with Viafirma.
