WHY NEOED?

Onboarding Workflows Designed for Academic HR

Higher education HR teams need to onboard faculty, staff, adjunct instructors, seasonal employees, and student workers across different departments and documentation requirements. 

Generic onboarding platforms weren’t built for these complex workflows, so HR ends up tracking requirements in spreadsheets and chasing down missing paperwork across email and campus offices.

NEOED Onboard was built for education from the ground up. Onboard helps institutions replace paper packets and manual handoffs with role-based checklists, digital forms, credential documentation, and campus task routing built for the nuances of academia.
