Automated RemoFirst New Hire Onboarding Checklist

Every time RemoFirst adds a new international hire, WebRun reads their country, role, and start date, builds a Trello checklist of the pending onboarding and compliance tasks, and pings your People team on WhatsApp with a countdown to the start date.

In short

How do I track onboarding tasks for a new RemoFirst hire?

WebRun watches RemoFirst for new international hires and, for each one, builds a Trello checklist of the pending onboarding and compliance tasks. It pings your People team on WhatsApp with a countdown to the start date and the checklist link, so nothing gets missed before a global hire's first day.

  • Every global hire gets a tracked checklist automatically
  • People teams get a countdown before each start date
  • Pending steps are visible before day one, not after

Built for People operations teams · global HR · remote-first companies · international hiring managers

Questions, answered

Does it contact the new hire directly?

No. WebRun only messages your internal People team on WhatsApp. It never emails or messages the new hire.

Does it handle the compliance filing itself?

No, it only tracks which steps RemoFirst shows as pending. Filing and compliance stay with RemoFirst and your People team.

What if the start date changes?

It reads the live start date in RemoFirst each run, so a rescheduled hire gets an updated checklist and countdown automatically.
