ATS Integration

ATS Hire Event Triggers Remote Onboarding

When a candidate is marked hired in Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or your ATS, Zignature fires the complete remote onboarding package — offer letter, employment agreement, IP assignment, and policy acknowledgements.

  • ATS trigger — Hired status → full document package sent automatically.
  • Candidate data auto-fill — Name, role, salary, and start date from ATS populate documents.
  • Jurisdiction-aware — Different documents for different hire states or countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Can remote employment contracts be signed electronically across international borders?

Yes. E-signed employment contracts are legally binding in the US (ESIGN Act), EU (eIDAS), UK (Electronic Communications Act), Canada (PIPEDA/PIPEDA equivalent), Australia (Electronic Transactions Act), and most global markets. Use jurisdiction-appropriate templates for each country.

How does Zignature handle IP assignment for remote employees in different countries?

Create country-specific IP assignment templates that comply with local employment law. The US PIIA template differs from UK assignment provisions — Zignature auto-selects the correct template based on the hire's work country.

Can we onboard remote employees before their start date without meeting them?

Yes. The entire remote onboarding document workflow — offer letter, employment agreement, IP assignment, benefits enrollment, and policy acknowledgements — can be completed before day one without any in-person interaction.

How do we verify the identity of remote employees signing employment documents?

Zignature's optional identity verification requires employees to upload a government ID and selfie before signing — creating a strong identity tie to the employment record. Useful for high-security roles or high-risk hiring situations.

Does Zignature support right-to-work verification documentation?

Zignature can collect signed right-to-work document acknowledgements as part of the onboarding package. The physical inspection of right-to-work documents may still be required — Zignature's process supports the documentation side.

What happens if a remote candidate doesn't sign before their start date?

Zignature's completion tracking shows exactly who has and hasn't signed. Automated reminders chase outstanding signatures. HR can hold start dates or escalate to a different contact for candidates with incomplete documentation.
