Build a Tailored Experience

Design your own custom workflows to create a tailored, standardised onboarding experience that aligns with your employer brand, with dynamic check-lists, reminders, and AI agents all working together in the background to give your new starters the best start.

Pre-Boarding Welcome Lounge

Give your new starters access to your HR system before they even start, via the pre-boarding welcome lounge. Special rules for pre-starters let them check their details, sign contracts or NDA’s, and get familiar with your system, but keeping their access limited until day one.

Common questions about onboarding.

How quickly can we set up new onboarding workflows?+
Sense ships with 14 ready-made templates you can deploy in minutes. Configure to your business (approvers, content, timings) and you're live. Custom flows for unusual roles can be built in a few hours.
Can different roles have different onboarding flows?+
Yes — different flows by role, department, location or worker type. A field engineer onboards differently to a head office hire, and Sense handles both with the right flow triggered automatically based on the new hire's record.
What about new starters without email addresses?+
Sense was built for frontline first. Workers can complete onboarding via the mobile app, a wall-mounted kiosk, ID card or printed checklist — no email required.
Does it handle UK right-to-work checks?+
Yes — Home Office compliant right-to-work checks with automatic document scanning and renewal reminders. Plus integrations with DBS, Yoti and Onfido for ID verification.
