Onboarding software that
speeds up time to productivity

Engaged employees are more productive, sooner

OnBoard faster than ever by giving them the tools to complete forms and policies online before they even start. Make this a positive experience for your new hire while reducing time to productivity.

Auto-filled forms and digital signatures

Employees can access required forms online, such as Tax File Number, Bank Deposit forms, car park pass requests, etc. according to your company’s requirements.

Automate your induction courses

Employees can complete a full customised Induction Course with questions, pass marks and certificate of completion before they’ve even set foot in their new workplace.

Online and automated policy management

Employees can sign off on all of your mandatory policies electronically. No more searching for documents or chasing down forms, it’s all online.

Friendly welcome messages and contacts

The day the employee is hired, they can commence their journey with your organisation, starting with a message from your CEO or their new manager, giving them an overview of your organisation.

Fill out a form once, auto-fill the rest!

Your new recruits only need enter their details once, and our OnBoarding portal uses these details to automatically fill out all basic info in their tax forms, induction checklists, banking forms and more!

Our employees are now more aware of the company vision, because it’s visible from day one. They go into Ascender onboarding and they can see what the objectives are.
