The whole pre-Day-One journey

One place for everything between “we’d like to offer you the role” and Day One.

Starter does not try to become your entire HR system. It does one high-friction job properly: getting a new hire through the practical journey of joining your organisation.

OFFER

Start professionally

Send the job offer directly from Starter. Onboarding only becomes chargeable when the candidate accepts.

DOCUMENTS

Keep it coherent

Your contract, policies and acknowledgements live in the same journey rather than scattered across attachments.

CHECKS

Ask for what you need

Work authorisation, criminal record checks, qualifications, licences and custom evidence can sit in one clear checklist.

READY

Know when they’re ready

The employer sees what is complete, what is waiting and what genuinely needs attention before Day One.

The workflow

Structured enough to stay in control. Flexible enough to stay yours.

Offer & acceptance

Create the offer, send it from Starter and start onboarding only when the candidate says yes.

Contract personalisation

Upload your own contract, map the places that change and generate a personalised version for each hire.

E-signature

Candidate and employer signing stay part of the same traceable onboarding journey.

Checks & evidence

Use neutral built-in checks and custom checks for role-specific evidence without building a separate process.

References

Request references, track replies and review what comes back without maintaining another spreadsheet.

Joining details

Collect the practical information your business asks for before the person starts, configured around your process.

Employer view

Your attention goes where it matters.

The Command Centre is designed to answer one question quickly: what, if anything, do I need to do?

Needs you — decisions, reviews and exceptions.
At risk — onboarding that is starting to slip.
Starter handling — routine work already moving.
Ready — nothing left between the hire and Day One.

Built around your documents

You do not need to replace what already works.

Bring your contract, your policies and your role requirements. Starter gives them a better journey.

↥

Your contract

Upload it. Map the changing information. Keep the wording you already use.

▤

Your policies

Share a handbook or individual policies, or leave the section out if it is not part of your onboarding.

+

Your checks

Add licences, qualifications, permits or other evidence as custom checks when the role needs them.

See it with a real hire

Your first Starter is free.

Send the job offer at no cost. If they accept, their onboarding activates and your free Starter begins. If they decline, you pay nothing.
