Reduce onboarding time by 80%. Send offer letters, employment contracts, and compliance forms for signature — new hires can sign from their phone before day one.
Legally binding under the ESIGN Act. No app download required for signers.
Most onboarding workflows are held together with email threads and PDF attachments. Here's what that costs you.
Emailing PDF attachments back and forth
The candidate downloads the offer letter, prints it, signs with a pen, scans a photo, and emails it back — often blurry, missing pages, or the wrong version. You spend 30 minutes sorting it out.
Days between verbal offer and signed contract
Every day without a signed offer letter is a day a competing employer can poach your candidate. The slower your paperwork, the higher your drop-off rate between offer and start date.
Chasing remote employees for wet ink signatures
Mailing physical documents to remote hires takes days each way. For time-sensitive employment agreements, this is operationally broken.
No documented proof of acknowledgment
When an employee disputes an NDA or claims they never received the handbook, paper-based processes offer no proof. Without a digital audit trail, the company is exposed.
Annual handbook reviews become a nightmare
Sending updated policies to 50 employees and tracking who has signed requires spreadsheets, follow-up emails, and manual chasing. It takes HR weeks for what should take hours.
Separation agreements delayed by logistics
When an employee leaves, termination paperwork needs to be signed quickly and cleanly. Physical documents slow this down and create legal risk.
SignBolt eliminates every one of these. New hires sign from their phone in under 3 minutes. HR has a timestamped, hashed, court-admissible record immediately.
DocuSign charges enterprise rates for features HR teams rarely use. SignBolt gives you what matters.

Three steps from uploaded document to signed and filed. No IT setup, no training required.
Upload any HR document as a PDF — offer letters, NDAs, handbooks, or performance reviews. Multi-page documents are fully supported.
Click to add signature, date, and initials fields on any page. Drag to reposition. Resize the signature field to fit the space. Set up a template once and reuse it for every new hire.
Send the signing link via email. The candidate opens it in their browser, draws their signature, and submits. No account required. The signed PDF with full audit trail lands in your inbox immediately.
Every stage of the employee lifecycle — hiring, onboarding, management, and offboarding — covered.
Send offer letters the moment a candidate accepts verbally. New hires sign from their phone before day one, reducing the risk of losing talent to a competing offer while paperwork is in transit.
Get NDAs signed as part of the onboarding packet — before new employees have access to any confidential systems, client data, or proprietary processes. No more chasing people down for signatures on day two.
Include non-compete and non-solicitation clauses in onboarding. Electronic signatures create a cleaner record than paper, with timestamps that establish exactly when the agreement was executed.
Policy changes and annual handbook reviews are simple: send the document link to all employees and track who has signed. No printing, no collection, no filing — just a clean digital record.
Formalize performance reviews, improvement plans, and salary change notifications with e-signatures. Creates a documented record that protects both the company and employee.
Handle exit paperwork cleanly and professionally. Separation agreements, final pay acknowledgments, and equipment return confirmations all signed electronically — even for remote employees.
Fast, affordable, and compliant — without the enterprise complexity of platforms you don't need.
Traditional onboarding paperwork takes days of printing, scanning, and emailing back and forth. With SignBolt, you send a packet, the new hire signs everything on their phone, and HR has a complete signed record before the employee's first morning standup.
When your new hire is in another city or country, mailing paper documents isn't an option. SignBolt means geography is never a barrier to completing onboarding paperwork. Remote employees onboard just as smoothly as those in the office.
Every day between verbal acceptance and signed offer letter is an opportunity for a competitor to swoop in. Getting signatures completed same-day keeps candidates committed and reduces offer acceptance-to-start drop-off.
Employment law disputes often come down to documentation. SignBolt's audit trail — including timestamps, IP addresses, and document hashes — provides verifiable proof of what was signed and when. That matters in wrongful termination or NDA enforcement cases.

Deep dives into e-signatures for hiring, onboarding, and compliance.
Yes. Employment contracts, offer letters, NDAs, and non-competes signed via SignBolt are legally binding under the ESIGN Act and UETA. Courts treat them the same as wet-ink signatures. SignBolt's audit trail — IP address, timestamp, and SHA-256 document hash — provides court-admissible proof of what was signed and when.
Yes. Signers never need a SignBolt account. The new hire receives an email or link, opens it in their browser, and signs using click-to-draw. They can complete the full onboarding packet from their phone in minutes. This removes all friction for candidates who may not be technically sophisticated.
Each document is sent individually as a signing link. HR can send the offer letter, NDA, and handbook acknowledgment as separate links in a single email. The new hire signs each one, and HR receives a completed, signed PDF for each document. Bulk signing lets HR teams send the same document to multiple employees at once.
SignBolt creates a record of when the document was sent and viewed. If an employee refuses to sign, you have documented evidence that the document was delivered. For legally required notices, this chain of custody is important in any subsequent employment dispute.
SignBolt Pro is $8/month for 50 documents. DocuSign's standard plan starts at $25/month per user. For a small HR team handling onboarding, policy updates, and performance reviews, SignBolt saves over $200/year per seat with no loss in core functionality.
