In short

How do I track unfinished onboarding for new remote hires?

WebRun opens Remote.com each morning, finds every hire still in onboarding, and checks which contracts, identity documents, and tax details are outstanding. It posts a per-person checklist to Microsoft Teams and pings Telegram when a start date is at risk, so nobody starts with paperwork missing.

  • No hire reaches day one with paperwork outstanding
  • The people channel sees the same checklist every morning
  • At risk start dates are flagged while there is still time

Questions, answered

Will it email new hires to chase documents?

No. WebRun reports the gaps internally in Teams and Telegram only. If you want the hire chased, WebRun can draft that message for you, but a person sends it.

Does it change anything inside Remote.com?

No. The run reads onboarding status, start dates, and outstanding steps. It never edits a profile, signs a contract, approves payroll, or uploads a document.

What about people who finished onboarding?

They drop off the list automatically. WebRun reads live status in Remote.com every morning, so completed onboarding stops appearing the next run.

Put this on autopilot.
