What fails first / common problems

Common implementation structure
The curated implementation shape for each recruiting sub-pattern — hand-authored editorial blueprints (not auto-generated from data). Each links to its full page with first-deployment failures and example cases.
Employee onboarding
Signed-contract-to-day-one workflows: provisioning, paperwork, training, and welcome flows.
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Hire intake & paperwork
A signed offer triggers the provisioning checklist; compliance documents and tax forms are collected before day one so the first day isn't paperwork.
AI recruiting & talent matching
Candidate sourcing, matching, screening, and time-to-hire reduction via AI talent platforms.

Stage 1 · Employee question intake
