Streamline Your HR Workflow With InStream
The Human Resources department is the cornerstone of any office, responsible for ensuring company efficiency and employee productivity. It’s also the place where all new employees are introduced to the company. Onboarding, employee evaluations and credentialing are just a few of the many processes regularly performed by Human Resources departments. HR is also burdened with having to process and maintain an array of personnel files, ranging from applications to tax forms.

Delayed document routing often leads to process delays and general disarray.
