Same automation. Four different workflows.

Tuesday you saw the code. Today you see how HR leads, people ops, managers, and the AI agent each use it differently.

Chase managers for offer letters and role details (3 hours)
Create onboarding plans from scratch each time (3 hours)

With Automation

Review AI-generated compliance checklist (10 min)
Dashboard shows all docs auto-collected (5 min)
Approve pre-built onboarding plan (30 min review)

Dashboard Metrics

Impact By The Numbers

Volume
5-8 new hires/month typical
Saved

Getting Your Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

People ops thinks automation will eliminate their job

💡
Response

Show the shift: 'You'll spend 87% less time on emails, 87% more time on employee experience and culture initiatives.' Frame as promotion, not replacement.

Result

Ops team becomes strategic partner, not task executor. Retention improves because they have time to actually support employees.

⚠️
Fear

Managers don't trust AI to coordinate their new hire's setup

💡
Response

Run parallel for first 3 hires: manual + automated. Show dashboard with real-time status updates. Managers see it's faster and nothing is missed.

Result

After seeing laptop arrive on time 3 times in a row, managers become advocates. 'Why didn't we do this sooner?'

⚠️
Fear

HR lead worried about compliance and legal risk

💡
Response

Show audit trail: every email sent, every doc collected, timestamped. Compliance improves from 77% to 99.6%. Legal loves the paper trail.

Result

HR lead becomes biggest champion after first audit. 'We passed with zero findings for the first time ever.'

⚠️
Fear

IT and facilities teams don't want to integrate with yet another system

💡
Response

Agent uses their existing tools (email, Slack, ticketing systems). No new logins required. IT sees ticket volume drop 60% because requests are clear and complete.

Result

IT asks to expand agent to other workflows. 'If this thing can handle onboarding, what else can it do?'

⚠️
Fear

Leadership concerned about upfront cost and ROI timeline

💡
Response

Calculate: 6 hires/month × 26 hours saved × $45/hour = $7,020/month savings. Subscription: $2,500/month. Payback: 11 days.

Result

CFO approves immediately. 'This pays for itself in 2 weeks. What are we waiting for?'
