Onboard a new employee

How to add a new hire in ZenAdmin, what a New Hire record is, and how to activate them when they start.

How do I add a new hire?

  1. Open Employee Directory → Team Members and click Add New Hire.
  2. Choose the employment type and a hiring template — the template decides which forms the flow collects (see Hiring Templates).
  3. Work through the stepper, filling the template's sections — personal details, employment, whatever your template asks for.
  4. Finish — the person lands in the directory as a New Hire.

Progress is saved

If you leave the flow midway, it's saved as a draft — you'll be offered Continue Progress when you return.

How do I activate them?

When the person actually starts, choose Activate user from their row menu. The activate flow confirms their details and flips them to Active. Activation is also the moment automations kick in — integration provisioning set to "on employee creation" or "on start date" creates their accounts accordingly.

What if the hire falls through?

New Hire records (and only those) can be deleted — Delete User in the row menu.
