Send, sign, track

- 2Place signature and date fields for the new hire or client
- 3Send, and Inkly emails the new hire or client a signing link
- 4Inkly notifies you when it's signed, then download the completed document
Who it's for: Recruiters, HR teams, agencies, and service businesses that send onboarding documents to new employees, contractors, or clients.
Onboarding a new hire or a new client usually means a stack of documents: policy acknowledgments, agreements, consent forms, and direct-deposit or intake paperwork. Chasing each signature separately is slow, and a missing form can hold up a start date or delay the first piece of work. The goal is to collect everything once, cleanly, and have a record that it is done.
Inkly lets you send each onboarding document as a signing link and track exactly what has been completed and what is still outstanding. Recipients sign from any device without creating an account, and you download the signed copies for the file. Save your onboarding documents as templates so each new hire or client gets the same packet, set up in minutes.
What you'll send
- Policy acknowledgments
- Employee handbook sign-offs

Common challenges
