Why it can work

  • Recruiters spend most time on paperwork, not placing workers.
  • Candidates on phones struggle with PDF onboarding forms.
  • Candidates who stop responding are lost mid-process.

Watch out

  • Candidates may still ignore reminders, leaving gaps.
  • Competing with broad admin suites that already cover credentials.
