HR & onboarding · 5 months live
Employee onboarding — signed contract to day-one ready in 2 hours
The problem
Onboarding managed via emails and spreadsheets. IT manually set up accounts. HR chased departments. New hires felt the chaos from day one.
First attempt
Initial sequential coordination caused timeouts when one department was slow. Rebuilt with parallel branches — all departments notified simultaneously.
