The document collection challenge for hr departments
Manual document collection creates bottlenecks that slow down your operations and frustrate your clients.
First-day paperwork creates a poor onboarding experience
New employees spend their first day filling out forms instead of getting productive. HR staff shepherd them through stacks of documents rather than focusing on orientation.
Compliance documentation is time-sensitive
I-9 forms must be completed within 3 days of start date. Missing deadlines creates compliance risk and potential penalties that can reach $2,507 per violation.
Remote and distributed hiring complicates document collection
With remote employees across multiple states or countries, collecting and verifying documents through email is unreliable and creates data security concerns.
How ZenDoc.AI solves document collection for hr departments
Purpose-built features that automate the document collection workflow from request to receipt.
Pre-boarding document collection
Send document requests to new hires as soon as they accept an offer. Collect tax forms, direct deposit info, and certifications before their start date.
I-9 compliance tracking
Track Section 1 completion and Section 2 verification deadlines. Automated reminders ensure you never miss the 3-day I-9 deadline.
Role-based document templates
