Aside for Hiring Teams
A final debrief starts in 25 minutes, and the packet still has holes. Two scorecards are missing. A portfolio page changed since the recruiter last looked. The debrief doc has notes, but nobody has checked whether the evidence still lines up.
Have Aside check the ATS, calendar, candidate links, and debrief doc in the background. It can return a packet with the missing feedback, changed pages, screenshots, and questions the team should answer before deciding.
Final-round candidate packet
Hiring teams lose time before debriefs because the signal is split across ATS notes, scorecards, resumes, LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolios, and calendar context. Aside can open each browser source, capture missing scorecards, and assemble a packet that shows exactly where the evidence came from.
A useful packet has a scorecard table, missing-feedback list, profile links, portfolio screenshots when pages may change, and questions for the debrief. Candidate packets are a clean place to start because a person still owns the decision.
Example output: four candidate packets, 17 source links, three portfolio screenshots, two missing scorecards, and five debrief questions pulled from actual interviewer notes.
| Candidate | Missing signal | Changed source | Packet evidence | Debrief question |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finalist A | Hiring-manager scorecard | Portfolio case study updated today | Screenshot, ATS note, portfolio URL | Did the updated project change the concern about systems thinking? |
Candidate review
Audit all candidates in the final interview stage for the Product Designer role. Open each ATS profile, scorecard, resume, LinkedIn page, portfolio, and calendar event. Capture missing scorecards or changed portfolio pages, build a packet with source links, and do not change candidate status.
Ask, wait, and continue
Hiring work often stalls on someone else's answer. A candidate has not sent work authorization details. An employee has not returned an equipment form. A benefits broker needs to confirm a plan limit.
Have Aside stage the message, wait for the reply, and reopen the task when the answer arrives. The waiting loop no longer has to live in someone's head.
Wait for reply
Stage a reminder to candidates missing work authorization details. After I approve the message, wait for replies for three days, reopen this task when someone responds, and update the readiness map with source links. Do not send new follow-ups without review.
Onboarding readiness across admin pages
Onboarding breaks when one detail changes and five admin pages need to catch up. A start date moves, the manager changes, the laptop request has an exception, or benefits eligibility depends on location. Aside can check the offer, HRIS, identity provider, Google Workspace, device vendor portal, payroll, benefits portal, and calendar invite.
| Output | What the hiring team reviews |
|---|---|
| Readiness map | HRIS, identity, email, payroll, benefits, device, and calendar state |
| Blocked items | Missing login, permission error, changed start date, equipment exception, or location mismatch |
| Source evidence | Offer, HRIS page, admin console screenshot, vendor portal link, and calendar event |
| Day-one risk | Owner | Status | Review action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laptop exception | Workplace ops | Device portal still shows unapproved exception | Approve exception or switch pickup plan |
| GitHub access | Eng manager | Invite staged for frontend-contractors, role template says product-engineering | Confirm team before creating access |
| Benefits location | People Ops | Offer says CA, benefits portal shows NY | Fix location before enrollment email |
Onboarding checklist
Check onboarding readiness for the new hire starting July 8. Open the signed offer, HRIS, identity provider, Google Workspace, device vendor portal, payroll, benefits portal, and calendar invite. Build a readiness map with source links and screenshots for blocked items. Do not create or change accounts.
Day-one rescue
Find anything that would make the new hire's first morning fail. Open the HRIS record, signed offer, manager email, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, device portal, benefits portal, and calendar invite. Return only blocked or mismatched items with screenshots, owners, and staged messages for review.
New-hire app invites as a Skill
Once a hiring team knows the exact onboarding sequence, write it down as a Skill. Aside can follow the same browser procedure every time: check the signed offer, find the manager, open the identity provider, stage app invites, request missing documents, and stop before creating access or sending messages.
This helps with the part no HRIS automation fully owns: the company-specific mix of internal admin pages, SaaS invite screens, spreadsheet trackers, device portals, and email templates.
Onboarding skill
Use our new-hire onboarding skill for Jamie Lee. Check the offer, HRIS, manager field, identity provider, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, device portal, and required-document tracker. Stage app invites and missing-document messages for review. Do not create accounts or send messages.
Offboarding access review
Offboarding needs caution. Have Aside check HRIS, Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, Slack, device management, payroll, benefits, and SaaS admin pages, then mark each item complete, still active, blocked, or needs review.
The useful artifact is a reviewable access map with screenshots of still-active access before anyone removes access.
Offboarding review
Audit this offboarding list against HRIS, Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, Slack, device management, payroll, benefits, and SaaS admin pages. Mark each item complete, still active, blocked, or needs review. Capture screenshots for still-active access and do not revoke anything.
Benefits portal and PDF audit
Benefits renewals turn into portal and PDF comparison work. Aside can open the broker portal, renewal folder, carrier PDFs, and last year's plan documents, then download the files, compare plan limits, and mark anything that needs HR or broker review.
Benefits summary
Open the broker portal, benefits renewal folder, carrier PDFs, and last year's plan documents. Download the new PDFs, compare plan limits and employee costs, cite each source page, and flag changes that need HR or broker review.
Missing employee information in HR tools
Small HR cleanup tasks are easy to postpone because they require checking a report, opening employee records, and verifying the same field in payroll or document portals. Emergency contacts, address changes, tax forms, manager fields, and equipment returns all fit this shape. Have Aside prove the field is missing across systems before it stages any reminder.
Missing info follow-up
Find employees with missing emergency contact details. Open the HRIS report, each employee record, payroll profile, document portal, and prior Gmail reminders. Capture source links for the missing field, stage one reminder per employee for review, and do not send messages.
Reopen recurring hiring tasks automatically
For recurring work, ask Aside to start the same checklist on a schedule or reopen a task after a waiting period. Every Monday, Aside can check next week's onboarding list, compare it with the HRIS and calendar, and stage the missing-items note. Three days after a candidate follow-up email, it can reopen the same task and check whether the candidate replied before staging the next reminder.
Aside can remember process notes, including checklist exceptions, source systems to check, report locations, and fields that changed in the last run.
Routine candidates: Weekly onboarding checks, missing-document reminders, benefits renewal review, and candidate follow-up windows where Aside should wake the same task later.
Prepare first, approve later
Aside fits hiring work when you can name the systems to check, the fields to compare, and the point where it must ask for review. That shape works for recruiting, onboarding, benefits, payroll checks, internal admin tools, and offboarding.
A person keeps the decision. Aside does the browser work that makes the decision easier.
Review gate: Have Aside stop before payroll changes, access changes, employee record edits, or outbound messages.
