What is STARTDAY?

StartDay automates the onboarding process from the moment a job offer is accepted through to an employee's first day. The tool integrates with existing ATS (applicant tracking systems) and HRIS (human resources information systems) to pull candidate data automatically, then assigns relevant documents and paperwork using AI. Built-in e-signature functionality eliminates the need for separate signing tools. The platform is purpose-built for Canadian HR teams, meaning it handles compliance requirements specific to Canadian employment law and regulations. Rather than juggling multiple tools and manual data entry, HR staff can focus on creating a good first-day experience while StartDay handles the administrative legwork in the background.
