Introduction:

When your internal team identifies promising candidates, the next step is to integrate them into your organization as W2 employees. This involves extending a formal offer and guiding them through a structured onboarding process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how the candidate will accept an offer letter and navigate through the onboarding journey.

NB: We recommend providing WOLF with desired onboarding text.

  • Sending an Offer Letter:

    • Begin by accessing the candidate's profile and navigating to the employment tab.

    • Input the relevant data and send an offer, as detailed in the dedicated article on the employment tab.

  • Offer Letter Acceptance:

    • Candidates will be notified about the offer letter via their preferred notification channel.

    • Potential employees can access the link to the offer letter in either place.

    • The initial step involves reviewing the offer letter content.

    • If the terms are acceptable, candidates proceed by clicking "Next" to initiate the onboarding process.

  • Basic Information Entry:

    • Candidates are required to input essential information necessary for onboarding.

    • This includes details such as name, address (address must be filled in per the formatting provided), date of birth, etc.

    • After providing this information, candidates save their entry and progress to the payroll section.

  • Payroll Setup:

    • In this phase, candidates confirm information provided and choose a verification method.

    • Verification methods may include uploading a driver's license and a social security card, or a passport etc.

    • Upon selecting a verification method, candidates initiate the verification process.

    • Candidates can either scan a qr code or be texted a link to continue the verification process

    • After successful verification, candidates proceed to fill out federal W4 and i-9 forms.

    • Additional state required forms may need to be completed

    • A thorough review of the entered information ensures accuracy before moving on to subsequent forms.

  • Banking Information Input:

    • The final step involves providing banking information for salary disbursement.

    • Candidates enter their banking details to facilitate seamless and timely payments.

Conclusion:

By following these comprehensive steps, both candidates and the internal team can ensure a smooth transition from the offer acceptance stage to completing the necessary onboarding requirements. This streamlined process promotes efficiency, accuracy, and a positive onboarding experience for new W2 employees.
