Fourteen onboarding steps, done before Monday
A companion works the checklist in BambooHR, chases the review cycle in Lattice, and keeps the ATS current. Anything that reaches a person waits on your approval.
A new engineer starts Monday. By Friday the BambooHR record exists, the welcome email and manager brief are drafted, the first-week meetings are booked and the equipment request is filed. You review one pass instead of working fourteen items across five tabs.
Separately, the review cycle stuck at 61% gets one reminder per straggler naming the specific missing review. BambooHR and Lattice are native integrations, and so are the recruiting systems HR inherits: Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and Teamtailor.
Can AI run an onboarding checklist end to end?
Most of it. A companion creates the employee record in BambooHR, drafts the welcome email and the manager’s day-one brief, books the intro meetings, and files the equipment request. Anything that reaches another human waits on an approval card showing the exact text.
Payroll runs in the session you are signed into: Gusto, Rippling and Workday get driven the way you would drive them, clicking what you would click. Payroll edits are where you want approvals strictest, which is what Ask Always mode is for.
Chase the review cycle without nagging
The 61% problem is a list problem: who is missing, who their manager is, what nudge each has already had. A companion pulls completion state from Lattice, drafts a reminder per person that names the specific missing review rather than “please complete your tasks”, and sends after you approve the batch. Offer-letter chasing, policy acknowledgment and open-enrollment stragglers all run the same way.
Does this cover recruiting admin too?
Yes, and it is usually the fastest win because the ATS integrations are deep. A companion moves candidates through stages, logs interview feedback reminders, and keeps postings in sync, the grind covered in keeping your ATS up to date and posting one job across many boards. If recruiting is your whole job, the recruiter page goes deeper.
The lines that stay human in HR
Everything that is actually about a person: the difficult conversation, the termination, the compensation call, the gray-area complaint. A companion carries the administrative shell around those moments so you arrive prepared. Employee data stays in accounts you signed into, on your own machine; the security model is the document your people team will want on file.
