Priya is set up end to end. Creating her record sent the invite and prorated her leave balance, and her onboarding checklist started itself the moment she was hired — the template resolved every task to a real owner with dates counted from July 13: laptop and accounts land on HR two days before she starts, the welcome email and intro 1:1 on her manager, the handbook and profile on Priya herself. The security policy needs nothing from you either: campaign audiences are simply 'every active employee', so on day one her dashboard shows Review & sign right next to her onboarding tasks, her acknowledgment is recorded with her typed name and the exact document fingerprint, and reminders chase her automatically if July 31 slips past. One prompt, and every step of it is on the audit trail. All of this stayed inside SquadBear — no other tool learned she exists yet.
Every tool shown ships in the product

One prompt at hire — the record, the onboarding checklist and the policy sign-off all take care of themselves.

What changes

People ops, in order

From offer accepted to day one — the record, the paperwork and the sign-offs keep themselves straight.

Core HR

One record per person, finally

Profile, role and manager, your own custom fields, emergency contacts and a full employment history — one place that's always current, instead of a spreadsheet that's always slightly wrong.

Core HR

Documents where they belong

Contracts and certificates on the person; handbooks and policies for the whole company. Stored in the EU, access follows the role, and nothing can be silently swapped after people have signed against it.

Core HR

Onboarding that starts itself

Hire someone and their checklist appears — laptop and accounts for HR, the welcome email for the manager, paperwork for the new hire — every task with an owner and a date counted from day one. Offboarding runs the same way, so nothing (and no access) gets forgotten.

Core HR

Policies people actually sign

Pick a document, set a due date, done. Everyone gets a Review & sign task, reminders chase the stragglers so you don't have to, and each acknowledgment is recorded with a typed name, a timestamp and a fingerprint of the exact version signed.

Core HR

New joiners are never missed

A sign-off campaign isn't a snapshot — it's a standing ask of everyone active. Someone hired a month after the policy went out still gets it on their first day, without anyone remembering to add them.

Core HR

GDPR answered, not just promised

Documents live in the EU. Anyone can export their own data; erasure genuinely removes what should go while keeping the compliance evidence that must stay. When the auditor asks, the answer is one click, not one week.

Why teams pick it

New hires land ready

Accounts, kit and paperwork sorted before the first coffee.

Nothing lives in spreadsheets

The record keeps itself current, in one place, access-controlled.

Sign-offs collect themselves

Campaigns announce, track and remind — HR just watches the count.

Audit-ready by default

Evidence, history and exports are one click away.

Questions, answered

Can we track our own fields?

Yes — define your own profile fields (text, dates, numbers, options), mark the sensitive ones admin-only, and they behave like built-ins everywhere, including for your AI assistant.

Is this real e-signature?

It's built for policy and handbook acknowledgments: typed-name signatures with a timestamp and a fingerprint of the exact document version, plus a live view of who still hasn't signed. For notarized contracts you'd still use a dedicated e-sign tool.

What happens when someone is hired or leaves?

Hiring starts the onboarding checklist automatically — tasks with owners and due dates counted from the start date. Offboarding is one click on the profile and covers handover, kit return and access removal; anything still assigned to the leaver moves to their manager.

Where are documents stored?

In the EU, with a jurisdiction guarantee — not just a preference. Access follows workspace roles and every download is private to your workspace; there are no public links.

Does it cover GDPR requests?

Yes. Anyone can export their own data, admins can export on someone's behalf, and erasure removes personal data while keeping what compliance requires — with a receipt of exactly what was done.

Less admin. More of the actual job.
