How Awesomic fully automated contractor onboarding with Deel

Y-Combinator-backed Awesomic connects top-notch freelance designers with global companies. Before Deel, they were manually onboarding global contractors – a process that was difficult and inefficient.

Awesomic partnered with Deel to implement an automated, interactive onboarding process tailored to their needs:

• Automatisk tildeling efter underskrivelse: En treprenører ansættes via PandaDoc, hvilket udløser en automatisk invitation til Deel og deres onboarding-rejse.
• Structured learning journeys: Contractors receive general onboarding workflows and smaller topic-specific journeys.
• Engaging content: All journeys contain original images with Awesomic’s unique look and feel.
• Onboarding buddy program: New hires are matched with buddies who guide them through the onboarding process with just-in-time information and support.

“Our onboarding needs to be short, well-structured, and interactive. Engage helps us achieve this by automating the process and making it engaging.” —Helen Horilenko, former Onboarding and Training Lead, Awesomic.

Engage transformed Awesomic’s onboarding process:

• High completion rates: The 95.5% onboarding completion rate leads to faster time-to-productivity and happier customers.
• Positive user feedback: New hires described the onboarding as easy, informative, and well-structured.
• Minimal manual work: Automation significantly reduced the manual effort required for onboarding, allowing HR to focus on more strategic tasks.
