Why you need an HR Automation Specialist

Why you need an HR Automation Specialist

  • Speed up time‐to‐hire
    Automate offer letters (PDF ↔ DOCX) and new‐hire Slack/Google Calendar notifications to onboard in days, not weeks.
  • Eliminate manual errors
    Leave‐request approvals, benefits enrollment and payroll syncs happen automatically via BambooHR API, Workday API, Greenhouse and Zapier.
  • Ensure compliance & security
    E‐signature integration with DocuSign, encrypted API connections (OAuth 2.0) and SLA‐driven logs for audit trails.
  • Free HR bandwidth
    Administrative teams spend 80% less time on spreadsheets and email chains—now they focus on strategy, culture and retention.
  • Scale HR operations
    As headcount grows, our low‐code/no‐code workflows (n8n, Google Apps Script) handle thousands of employee records, auto‐detect anomalies and send real‐time Slack alerts.

(Imagine welcoming every new hire with a Spotify playlist in Slack, a DocuSign offer in their inbox, and a pre‐filled Google Sheet record—no human touches required.)

How we streamline your HR processes

Task Automation Step

STEP 1

Discovery & Process Mapping
(Day 1–5)

Audit your HRIS/ATS: BambooHR, Workday, Greenhouse, Gusto or ADP. Identify manual chores: “Who’s manually updating spreadsheets? Which approvals are email threads?”

Flowchart & animatic: Visualize “Offer sent → signed via DocuSign → system updates → Google Calendar invites → Slack ‘Welcome!’ alert.”

Step Design And Prototype

Step 2

Design & Prototype
(Day 6–12)

Build no‐code chains in Zapier or n8n to connect your HRIS (BambooHR/Workday) automations:

  • Onboarding: Candidate data → DocuSign offer → “New hire” Slack alert → pre‐populated Google Drive folder.
  • Offboarding: Termination trigger → remove Google Workspace account, archive email, revoke app access.
  • Leave requests: Google Forms → Google Sheet → Manager approval email → BambooHR update → Slack reminder if pending.

Prototype on a test account; run through a mock “new hire” and “leave request” cycle in real time.

Step Build And Test

STEP 3

Build & Test Workflows
(Day 13–18)

Deploy BambooHR API or Workday API integrations: sync employee records (JSON ↔ CSV) to Google Sheets or your ATS.

Configure conditional logic: e.g., if candidate’s location = CA → benefits enrollment form route to “CA healthcare vendor.”

Implement error‐handling loops and retry policies: if DocuSign fails to send, retry up to 3x, then notify HR lead via email/SMS.

Step Deploy

STEP 4

Deploy & Monitor (Day 19–25)

Push workflows live in Zapier/n8n/Apps Script:

  • Offer letter dispatch (DocuSign → system update)
  • Google Calendar auto‐invites for orientation
  • Slack “Welcome!” and “Submit payroll timesheet” reminders

Set up monitoring dashboards (Looker Studio or Google Sheets logs) with metrics:

  • Time‐to‐hire
  • Onboarding completion rate
  • Leave approval turnaround
  • HR ticket volume
Step Optimize

STEP 5

Optimize & Expand (Ongoing)

Weekly sprint: add new automations (e.g., “New benefit plan announcement” email blast) or refine existing flows.

Provide “how-to” guides and Apps Script bundles so your team can tweak workflows.

Monthly performance report: hours saved, error‐rate reduction, compliance logs—delivered via email and Slack.

4

Hiring & Onboarding

Validate profiles, sign agreements, and onboard staff.

5

Ongoing Management & Billing

We handle payroll, benefits, and performance tracking while you focus on outcomes.

6

Deployment

An email containing details about the staff and supervisor assigned to your project will be sent to you.
