Who it's for: Independent recruiters, staffing agencies, and HR teams at small businesses that regularly send offer letters and contractor agreements.

In recruiting, timing matters. An unsigned offer letter sitting in a candidate's inbox is a risk. A contractor agreement that takes three days to sign delays the start date. Staffing firms manage dozens of documents across multiple clients and candidates at once, and any bottleneck in the signing process creates friction on both sides.

Inkly lets you send an offer letter or agreement the moment it is ready and track exactly when the candidate opens and signs it. Recipients sign from a browser link with no account required, which removes a common point of hesitation. You can create reusable templates for the agreements your firm sends to every new contractor, saving setup time on every placement.
