HR onboarding software for new hires & open enrollment

About 321Forms

321Forms is a cloud-based human resources (HR) solution for employee onboarding and open enrollment, which includes tools for form conversion, electronic signature capture, onboarding automation, form translation, reporting, and more. The system is designed for small and midsize companies including restaurants, franchises, retail, professional employer organizations (PEOs), staffing & recruiting companies, and businesses that hire seasonal workers.

321Forms enables employees to enter their details once, in a custom questionnaire, and populates that information across recurring fields in multiple forms, including I-9, W4, and benefits forms. Forms can also be pre-filled with company information, such as address fields and FEINs (Federal Employer Identification Numbers). Digital files in 321Forms are designed to only accept specified information, preventing employees with incomplete or incorrect information from progressing through the onboarding process. Employee signatures can be captured electronically, and integration with E-Verify enables the checking of employees’ work eligibility.

With 321Forms, employees can use their native language to fill out forms, and the information they provide is translated into English. The built-in messaging center enables communication between administrators and employees, and allows changes to be made to documents in the same window as messages are received. Custom reports can be generated from any information collected from employees, with a range of filters to focus on different details. Commonly-used reports can also be saved as templates, and completed reports can be exported as Excel or CSV files.


Key benefits of 321Forms

  • Employees can fill in forms in their native language, and 321Forms translates their answers into English.

  • Existing paper forms can be converted into digital forms, with repetitive information pre-populated in recurring fields.

  • Custom reports can be generated, focused with a range of filters, saved as templates, and exported as Excel or CSV files.

  • The built-in messaging center enables communication between administrators and employees, without requiring company email addresses.

    The team is great and very easy to work with. I have appreciated the flexibility with customizing forms to suit our needs. Very affordable product, good UI and have had very few problems with new hires logging in and completing their forms. I would highly recommend this product.

    Pros

    Ease of use, friendly UI. Positive feedback from Hospital HR Directors and new hires.

    Cons

    We are in the process of moving to Enterprise level fully integrated HCM which will include an onboarding piece that we will eventually move to. Although I am still exploring the options, I am not certain there is an easy way to get all your employee forms out of their system and into a new system without a lot of manual work.

    Just wasn't what I was expecting

    Reviewed on 21/01/2018

    Pros

    I think the only pro I could come up with is the cost, I have looked at others and this one seemed reasonable.

    Cons

    For me, it was to cumbersome and to confusing to use even with help from customer service who was very patient.

    321 forms was the most versatile company that we have ever worked with. Their willingness to find a solution to our specific issues was unparalleled and their pricing was way more competitive than any other company that we have worked with. If it not for our Franchisor forcing us to change, we would still be with them. We are sorry we left.
