Contracts are at the heart of nearly every HR process. From hiring and onboarding to managing employee policies and vendor relationships. But when those contracts are scattered, tracked manually, or buried in email chains, HR teams lose valuable time and increase their compliance risk.

The Problem: HR’s Contract Chaos

If you’re in HR, you’ve probably faced at least one of these challenges:

• Chasing signatures for offer letters, NDAs, or compliance forms (often multiple times).
  
• Struggling to find the latest version of a contract when a question comes up.
  
• Risking compliance violations because obligations weren’t tracked.
  
• Wasting time emailing different departments to gather contract-related information.
  

The result is slower onboarding, higher compliance risk, and frustrated candidates and employees.

The Solution: Contract Management That Works for HR

A Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform like Zeal takes the manual work out of HR contract processes so you can focus on people and not paperwork.

Here’s how:

1. Fast, Automated Signatures

Send, track, and get contracts signed in minutes, without chasing anyone down.

2. Centralized Document Storage

Store all HR contracts in one secure place with version control, so the latest document is always easy to find.

3. Automated Compliance Tracking

Never miss an obligation, renewal, or policy update again.The system tracks it for you.

4. Seamless Department Collaboration

Share contracts with finance, legal, and leadership without endless email threads.

The Benefits: Why HR Relies on CLM

• Faster Onboarding – Get employees set up quickly with no delays in paperwork.
• Reduced Compliance Risk – Track and meet all obligations effortlessly.
• Better Candidate Experience – Provide a smooth, professional process from offer to day one.
• More Time for People – Spend less time on admin, more time on engagement and retention.

What This Looks Like in Practice

When a recruiter sends an offer letter to a candidate:

1. They create the contract using a pre-approved template in Zeal.
   
2. The candidate signs electronically within minutes.
   
3. The signed contract is automatically stored, tracked, and shared with payroll and IT.
   

No printing. No scanning. No chasing signatures. Just a streamlined process from start to finish.

Conclusion: HR’s Contract Processes Can Be Simple

Manual HR contract processes waste time, frustrate candidates, and create compliance risk. CLM changes that by centralizing, automating, and tracking everything in one secure platform.

With Zeal, HR teams get back the time they need to focus on their people — without sacrificing compliance or efficiency.
