Onboard employees, contractors, and temps without the paperwork tangle
Send offer letters, employment agreements, NDAs, and IP assignments in a single signing packet — with a tamper-evident audit trail that holds up if anyone ever asks how a hire was documented.
ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS recognised e-signatures. Free plan, no credit card required.
What goes wrong today
The day-to-day contract pain for hr & staffing agencies — spelled out concretely, not dressed up.
Hires get stuck in the email chain: offer letters, NDAs, IP assignments, and non-competes each sent separately, signed out of order, and impossible to assemble for a file later.
Multi-state hiring means the template that works for a California engineer does not work for a Texas sales rep — and nobody on the HR team wants to be the one who missed a non-compete rule change.
When an audit, a departure dispute, or an acquisition diligence hits, the HR team cannot produce a clean chain-of-custody for who signed what, when, and from where.
How FastContracts handles it
No magic — real product features mapped to the pain above.
One signing ceremony for the full onboarding packet
Combine the offer letter, employment agreement, confidentiality and IP assignment, and any role-specific policies into a sequential or parallel signing flow. Every party signs in the right order, and the completed packet is sealed into a single PDF with the audit trail attached.
Jurisdiction-aware clauses for multi-state hiring
Templates expose the clauses that actually change across US states — at-will, non-compete enforceability, pay transparency disclosures, PTO rules — so you are not copy-pasting the wrong governing-law clause onto a new hire in a new state.
Signatures that hold up in an HR file review
Every signature carries ESIGN and UETA recognition in the US and eIDAS in the EU and UK, plus a tamper-evident audit trail (timestamps, IP, email verification) that is the evidence you will want if a termination or wage-and-hour dispute escalates.
Templates you can brand and reuse
Save your company's standard offer letter, contractor agreement, and NDA as reusable templates with approved wording. Hiring managers send from the approved version, not a forwarded Word doc from 2019.

Why FastContracts for hr & staffing agencies
Purpose-built for HR leads at small and mid-sized companies and staffing agencies that need a defensible paper trail for every hire.
Sequential signing for hiring packets
Route the offer letter for the candidate to sign first, then the employment agreement and IP assignment, then the hiring manager counter-signature — in a fixed order, with automatic email reminders at each step.
Restricted-covenant wording you can actually audit
Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses are called out as jurisdiction-variant by default so a reviewer can see which state's rule applies rather than hoping it was remembered.
Clean onboarding file per hire
Signed documents land in one place — downloadable as a single packet or each agreement independently — so producing a hire's file for audit, acquisition diligence, or an employment dispute is a one-click export.
Identity-verified signatures
Email verification, IP capture, and optional SMS one-time codes on the signing ceremony give you a defensible record of who signed the agreement, not just the account that initiated it.
Frequently asked questions
The questions hr & staffing agencies ask before they commit.
Can I send an offer letter, employment agreement, and NDA in one signing ceremony?
Yes. You can attach multiple documents to a single signing envelope, set a signing order (candidate first, hiring manager second), and deliver one signed packet at the end. Each document retains its own audit trail and can be downloaded individually or as a bundle.
Does this work for hiring across US states?
Yes. Employment templates expose the clauses that vary by state — at-will wording, non-compete enforceability, PTO and sick-leave references, pay transparency disclosures — so you can pick the right variant for the state where the role is based. This is template tooling, not legal advice: for hires in states you have not hired in before, have local counsel review the specific terms.
Are electronic signatures accepted for employment documents?
For offer letters, employment agreements, NDAs, and IP assignments, electronic signatures are generally recognised under ESIGN and UETA in the US, and eIDAS in the EU and UK. Some specific HR forms (notably US Form I-9) have their own federal requirements; check the requirements for the specific form before substituting an e-signature for a wet ink one.
What does the audit trail show?
For each signature: the signer's name and email, the timestamp of delivery, view, and signing, the IP address from which the signature was applied, and any verification steps (email click-through, SMS code). The trail is bundled into the signed PDF and cannot be altered without breaking the seal.
Can we save our standard wording as a reusable template?
Yes. Save your approved offer letter, employment agreement, and NDA as company templates. Hiring managers generate new contracts from the approved version and fill only the hire-specific fields, so every offer goes out with wording your HR or legal team has already cleared.
Ready to send your first hiring packet?
Pick a template, fill in the fields, and route for signature. Your signed PDF comes back with a tamper-evident audit trail.
