Contact Management
Centralized contact profiles link candidate, client, and hiring manager records to every document stream, enabling search, segmentation, and histories tied to signed agreements and placement details.
In the United States, e signatures used in staffing are enforceable under ESIGN and UETA when parties consent and intent are recorded; staffing teams must also consider HIPAA and FERPA protections for health or education data processed during placements.
Recruiters prepare and send offers and NDAs, manage candidate contact records, and monitor signature status; they rely on templates and Bulk Send for volume and use integration to sync signed documents back to the ATS.
Compliance officers configure retention policies, review audit trails, and set identity verification levels; they ensure that HIPAA or FERPA-related documents are controlled and that organizational access controls meet audit requirements.
Centralized contact profiles link candidate, client, and hiring manager records to every document stream, enabling search, segmentation, and histories tied to signed agreements and placement details.
Create and manage organizational entities for clients and branches, assign accounts and permission sets, and maintain separate document libraries and retention rules per organization.
Send identical documents to large candidate lists or client contacts in a single operation while maintaining individualized audit trails and signature status for each recipient.
Design reusable templates for offers, contracts, NDAs, and I-9 related workflows with fixed fields, conditional logic, and prefilled contact or organization data to speed processing.
Assign roles and granular permissions to recruiters, compliance staff, and hiring managers so user access to contact data and signed documents adheres to internal policies.
Comprehensive transaction logs capture timestamps, IP addresses, and signer authentication events to support compliance, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping requirements.
Integrate document creation so templates authored in Google Docs can be pushed into the signature workflow, preserving formatting while enabling field mapping from contact and organization records for rapid, repeatable sends.
Two-way synchronization with common CRMs keeps candidate and client data current, automates recipient selection for offers, and records signature events back to contact profiles for audit and billing reconciliation.
Cloud storage integration archives executed agreements to designated folders in Dropbox or other providers, allowing staffing teams to enforce folder-level retention and backup policies tied to organizational accounts.
Create role-specific templates for recruiters and account managers with pre-mapped fields, conditional logic, and organization-level branding to ensure consistent documents across client engagements.

Signers and administrators can use modern browsers or native apps; confirm supported platforms to ensure compatibility with organizational device policies and authentication methods.
For staffing teams, native mobile apps (iOS and Android) support on-the-go signing and contact management while desktop browsers enable heavier administrative tasks like template design, bulk sends, and integration configuration; confirm OS versions before large rollouts.
A staffing firm generates standardized temporary placement contracts linked to each candidate's contact record, automatically pre-filling name and pay rate
Resulting in faster placements and auditable records tied to both candidate and client.
Recruiting teams send onboarding packets that attach to the new hire's contact profile and the hiring organization's folder, with identity verification steps built into the flow
Resulting in consistent documentation and reduced manual reconciliation across systems.
