Paperless onboarding has become one of the fastest ways for staffing teams to improve accuracy, accelerate placements, and deliver a smoother, more modern candidate experience. When onboarding is digital, mobile-friendly, and fully automated, new hires can complete everything they need — from tax forms to signatures — before their first day, without any printing, scanning, or manual data entry.
For agencies exploring questions like “What tools support paperless onboarding?”, “How do we automate onboarding tasks?”, or “What’s the easiest path to digital onboarding?”, the answer is simple: use a staffing ATS platform that already connects onboarding, compliance, payroll, and document workflows in one place.
With the right platform, moving to paperless onboarding becomes less of a project and more of a natural extension of how your team already works — turning a once tedious process into one that’s fast, accurate, and remarkably easy to manage.
Digital forms, mobile completion, and e-signatures eliminate delays caused by printing, scanning, or chasing down paperwork. Recruiters can place talent faster, clients get workers on assignment sooner, and candidates enjoy a smoother onboarding experience.
Manual paperwork creates room for error. Paperless onboarding ensures documents are legible, complete, and automatically verified against compliance requirements like I-9s, W-4s, and state tax forms.
Digital onboarding stores all forms, signatures, and documentation in one place. Recruiters, payroll teams, and compliance managers all work from the same source of truth.
Automated workflows — including reminders, task assignments, approvals, and document requests — free recruiters from repetitive administrative tasks so they can focus on candidate engagement and placements.
Today’s workforce expects fast, mobile onboarding. Paperless tools allow new hires to complete everything from their phone — before their first day — and without complicated portals or long in-person paperwork sessions.
Paperless onboarding tools with strong integrations help agencies avoid duplicate data entry, prevent mismatched records, and support clean reporting across payroll, HR, and staffing systems.
Paperless onboarding generally requires several categories of tools: digital forms, e-signature solutions, workflow automation, mobile access, and integrations with payroll and HR systems.
Below is an overview of the core capabilities agencies typically look for — all of which Avionté provides through its unified platform.
Avionté’s seamless, automated onboarding solution brings all the essential components of paperless onboarding into one staffing-friendly platform:
Candidates complete all onboarding documents electronically — from tax forms to direct deposit authorization — with legally binding e-signatures.
Recruiters build onboarding flows tailored to role, industry, state, or client requirements. Tasks, reminders, document requests, and approvals happen automatically.
New hires can complete everything from their phone, eliminating friction and dramatically improving completion rates.
I-9s, W-4s, state forms, background check documents, and client-specific paperwork are all completed and stored securely.
All onboarding data flows seamlessly into Avionté’s ATS, eliminating re-entry and ensuring accuracy for payroll, billing, and future placements.
Avionté’s integration partners expand what agencies can achieve with fully digital, compliant onboarding. By connecting onboarding to background screening, employment tax, WOTC, payroll, assessments, and identity verification tools, staffing agencies can move from “mostly digital” to truly end-to-end paperless.
Here’s how key partners enhance the onboarding experience:
Integrated background checks help agencies launch and track screenings directly from Avionté, with results and documentation automatically attached to the candidate record. These integrations support criminal background checks, employment verifications, drug testing, and other compliance workflows essential to high-volume staffing.
Partners include:
Onboarding data doesn’t live in a silo. It needs to flow cleanly into payroll, tax, and verification systems to prevent errors and rework. By connecting these tools to Avionté, agencies reduce manual entry and maintain consistency across core systems.
Legally binding, digital signatures are at the heart of paperless onboarding. With e-signature integrated into Avionté, contracts, policy acknowledgments, and hire packets can be completed in minutes instead of days.
Assessment tools add another layer of value to onboarding by confirming skills and job readiness as part of the digital process. Together, these integrations — combined with Avionté’s automated, mobile-first onboarding — give staffing agencies a truly end-to-end, paperless experience that’s fast, compliant, and built for the realities of modern recruiting.
The most important capabilities for a staffing business include:
Replaces physical paperwork with secure, remote signing of all onboarding documents.
Enables candidates to access everything they need — documents, tasks, instructions — from any device.
Automates compliance tasks, reminders, training assignments, document submission, and approvals.
Supports data consistency and eliminates manual re-entry.
Ensures onboarding follows federal, state, city, and client-specific requirements.
Gives recruiters, payroll teams, and client managers instant insight into who has completed what — and where bottlenecks might occur.
Staffing agencies adopting digital onboarding gain a measurable advantage: faster starts, fewer errors, improved compliance, and a dramatically better candidate experience. The agencies that still rely on paper packets, email attachments, or manual processes simply cannot compete with those using automated, mobile-first workflows.
Avionté brings everything together — digital forms, mobile onboarding, automated workflows, e-signatures, tax integrations, background checks, and real-time visibility — in a single, seamless staffing platform.
