100% complete before start

Compliance Documentation

Automated collection and verification of trade licences, White Cards, and other compliance documents ensures every new starter has current credentials before they step on a job site.

8 hours saved

Admin Time per New Hire

The onboarding process that previously required hours of admin coordination across multiple people is managed automatically with task assignments and deadline tracking.

The Challenge

Common staff onboarding automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.

New tradespeople start on site without all their compliance documentation collected and verified, creating regulatory risk and potential WorkSafe liability.

Vehicle and tool provisioning is ad hoc, with new starters sometimes waiting days for a fully equipped van because nobody coordinated the preparation in advance.

The induction process depends on whoever is available on the first day, resulting in inconsistent coverage of OHS policies and company procedures.

Superannuation choice forms and tax file declarations are chased for weeks after start date because nobody sent them before the first day.

Implementation

How we implement staff onboarding automation for your trades & construction business.

Trigger Onboarding from Offer Acceptance

When a new hire accepts their offer, the onboarding workflow triggers automatically, creating tasks for HR, operations, and the site supervisor with deadlines based on the start date.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Sheets, Slack

Collect Compliance Documentation

New starters receive automated requests for trade licences, White Card, driver licence, superannuation choice form, tax file declaration, and emergency contact details via a secure online form.

✓ Tools: Make, Typeform, Google Drive

Provision Tools and Access

Vehicle assignment, tool allocation, uniform ordering, fuel card activation, and job management system access are triggered based on the role. IT sets up the mobile device with required apps.

✓ Tools: Make, ServiceM8, Airtable

Induction and First-Week Checklist

A structured induction schedule is generated covering OHS policies, site safety procedures, company standards, and role-specific training. The supervisor receives a first-week checklist with sign-off requirements.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Docs, Slack
