Case Study: OnDeck achieves 800+ hours saved and cuts onboarding to 30 minutes per hire with Sapling

Streamlining Documents, Automating Workflows, and Syncing with ADP Workforce Now

OnDeck, a non-bank small business lender, was running a manual, paper-based onboarding program—mailing physical paperwork, using paper checklists, and lacking connectivity between recruitment and their payroll system (ADP Workforce Now). To solve these pain points as they scaled, OnDeck selected Sapling to modernize their onboarding process.

Sapling implemented digital e-signatures (HelloSign), a preboarding portal, workflow automation, and integrations with Greenhouse and ADP Workforce Now to auto-sync employee data. As a result, OnDeck cut manual onboarding time from five hours to 30 minutes per hire, saved over 800 hours to date, and grew their employee base 31% while giving finance and People Operations far greater efficiency and visibility.
