Why Now?

Remote/hybrid onboarding is now permanent — you can't hand someone a packet anymore. Compliance requirements for remote I-9 verification changed in 2023. Companies competing for talent via employee experience.

Competitive Landscape

BambooHR

Full HRIS with onboarding. Good but onboarding is just one feature in a big platform ($8/employee/mo base)

Rippling

Sapling (Kallidus)

Dedicated onboarding tool acquired by Kallidus. Lost product momentum post-acquisition

Enboarder
