The Great Resignation or the mass exodus wherein employees voluntarily resigned in higher-than-ever numbers, started around early 2021. This was and continues to be the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, low pay, better opportunities, poor leadership, and lack of recognition. On one hand, this phenomenon has left many gaps in the market, and on the other, it has created many opportunities for employees and inevitably, doubled the work of HR teams across the globe. HR Teams carry the onus of finding the right talent, for the right price.

Even as we speak, every industry is being swept by newer technologies simplifying jobs and workflows. However, when was the last time you found an HR team as digitally equipped as their counterparts in let’s say the IT department? The HR of even a small-sized business is a department that manages tons of paperwork and documentation, and long, tedious workflows. Recruitment, termination, employee policies, and internal events, all of these need activities need to be well-documented. While most of these use digital documents and online exchange, the one place where there is a major bottleneck ...
... is signatures. Even today, it is the norm to print out a form, letter, or contract just to sign it physically, then scan and send it back to the recipient by email. This step creates plenty of confusion, unnecessary paper wastage, and unwanted delays.

41% of companies require signatures on more than half of their documents, printing more than half of their papers to get them signed. –MSBDocs

Electronic or e-signatures can solve this dilemma with ease. Adopting an e-signature solution allows HR teams to go fully digital with no need to print a single paper and makes all workflows and processes smooth, seamless, and error-free. Switching to e-signatures upgrades the recruitment process and helps HR teams to stay on top of their game.

Benefits of eSignatures for HR

Say bye-bye to paper – HR managers can drastically reduce the use of paper by going digital and incorporating e-signatures to complete their workflows. HR can finally bid adieu to managing long, tedious, and strenuous physical paperwork and complete their end-to-end documentation online.
Remote Hiring – The pandemic changed the way people work and how HR teams hire. Thanks to remote working, companies can now hire talent globally and not be restricted to a single geographic location. This opportunity, however, comes, with its own share of problems for Recruitment & Hiring teams. Adding an e-signature solution to the hiring process and formalities can transform how new talent is brought onboard.
Eco-Friendly Offices – Has your company or team struggled with environment-friendly options to go about work? Did you know that 70% of the total waste in offices is made up of paper, and as much as 30% of print jobs are never even picked up from the printer? Cutting paper out of your work processes can finally mean you can go 100% eco-friendly.
Security & Compliance - Electronic signatures are recognized and considered legally binding in over 60 countries all over the world. In fact, the leading awareness of the legal acceptance of e-signatures has led to the projected growth of the global digital signature market to reach $14.1 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 31.0%. (MarketsandMarkets, 2020)
Enhanced User Experience - One of the main aims of any HR team is to simplify and enhance the experience of existing employees, newcomers as well as prospective joiners. A user-friendly, hassle-free documentation process for joining and relieving formalities can significantly impact the experience of the user and also earn the company the reputation of being a digitally forward organization.
Save Big on Admin Costs - No paper means no printing, no ink, no pens, no folders, etc. It also means no spending on postage, couriers, and mailing of those 50-page contracts that need physical signatures.
