Howdy Hunters 👋, So we all know in that in the span of just a few short weeks, small businesses went through a journey that would typically take years for companies to experience (if ever)—layoffs, furloughs, terminations, hour and wage reductions, transitioning to fully remote workforces, business plan pivots, finding new revenue streams, and ultimately hiring and rehiring their teams. And they did it all while navigating a complicated, ever-evolving landscape of aid and shifting guidance. The next challenge small businesses face is to reopen and rebuild their teams quickly and effectively. Gusto’s data from May shows that hiring increased by 76% from the previous month. In ordinary times, it takes small business owners an average of 10 to 12 hours of work to bring on just one employee. That’s time businesses just don’t have. To streamline how small businesses bring the workforce back to work, today we’re rolling out a new suite of hiring and onboarding tools. These new tools make it easy to automate and send customized offer letters, e-sign key documents, and provision software for new employees, all before their first day. Additionally, our onboarding system enables small business owners to delegate tasks to their team—which can then be saved to make future rounds of hiring much faster: no more manual creation of documents, re-writing paper checklists, and writing email after email to new team members. Even the technology is simplified—no more Excel templates and no more switching back-and-forth between software applications. Everything is available in one, easy-to-manage place.
