The Opportunity

Problem

Onboarding remote hires takes excessively long without standardized HR processes for distributed teams, directly delaying revenue.

Solution

OnboardSync lets HR create scannable QR-code video series for onboarding, with embedded quizzes and progress sync. New hires watch bite-sized videos, complete checks, and unlock next steps automatically. Dashboards track engagement, flagging at-risk hires early to accelerate ramp-up.

Target Audience

HR managers and leaders in remote-first or distributed companies scaling their workforces

Differentiator

Video-first approach with QR integration for mobile-first remote workers, not just text checklists.
