Add Onboarding Item

The Add Onboarding Item workflow adds a new onboarding item that can be assigned to candidates, clients and job orders. Items assigned to Candidates display on the Compass portal for the Candidate to complete and eSign (if required). Items assigned to the Client and Job Order indicate items needed in order to assign the Candidate to the job (depending on your hiring requirement selection).

Compass Onboarding Items can be associated with Compass Onboarding Packages, but it is not required. A package can contain many onboarding items. In addition, any single item can be part of many different packages. Packages allow several onboarding items to be assigned at once. For more information, see Add Onboarding Package.

Each Onboarding Item is a separate workflow that the Candidate must complete on the Compass Portal. A Compass Onboarding Item can contain one or many fields, links and eSign documents. Thus, one single Item can prompt the user for multiple information (for example, first name, last name, phone number, etc.).

Note: Adding an item here makes it available to the Candidate, Client and Job Order record. You will still need to add it to those records to make it active for the specific Candidate, Client or Job Order.
