Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as an attorney registration form?
No — registration captures professional credentials for listing and compliance; onboarding captures a new hire's operational details so day one runs smoothly.
Who fills it in?
The new hire, before their start date, sometimes with the hiring manager.
Can IT and HR both see it?
It collects into your workspace so the right owners can act on equipment and access.
Is it free to reuse?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace for each new hire.
Can we add our own fields?
Yes. Adjust intake fields per role.
Why capture onboarding in a form?
A single structured intake means no equipment or access is missed and every hire gets the same smooth start.
