A Better Way to Onboard Workers: Magnit's New Approach
Magnit™, a leading Integrated Workforce Management (IWM) platform provider, is rolling out a simpler, more coordinated way to bring workers on board. The effort builds on its collaboration with ServiceNow, a company known for AI-driven business transformation. By tapping into ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, Magnit is redefining how organizations welcome contingent workers—more clarity, fewer handoffs, and a single place to see what’s next.
What’s Changing in the Onboarding Flow
The redesigned experience focuses on what actually slows teams down. Automation handles routine steps so work moves faster and with fewer errors. Real-time visibility puts status at everyone’s fingertips—managers, new workers, and HR—so people can see what’s done and what’s due, reducing back-and-forth and avoidable delays.
Built for Today’s Workforce Pressures
Workforces are complex, and talent is tight. Organizations must attract and keep great people while navigating shortages and shifting needs. Magnit has developed Employer of Record (EOR) solutions that center the worker experience while fitting into the systems companies already use. The result is a connected onboarding process for EOR workers and a clearer view of the entire workforce in one place.
Empowering Managers and Workers
Teresa Carroll, CEO of Magnit, underscores the push to remove friction from outdated onboarding methods. “Today’s contingent workforce management is fraught with challenges. Our upgraded onboarding solution is designed to simplify these processes and empower clients to glean insights from a unified analytics system,” Carroll explained. The goal is practical: less administrative noise, more insight, and a smoother start for every worker.
Why This Matters
The enhanced onboarding system offers tangible benefits, including:
- Automated workflows: Streamlined steps that cut manual effort and reduce errors, so tasks move from request to completion with fewer stops and starts.
- Enhanced user experience: A clearer, more intuitive interface that helps contingent workers navigate what to do, when to do it, and where to find answers.
- Faster worker deployment: Quicker time from offer to day one, helping teams stay productive and meet goals without waiting on paperwork.
How ServiceNow Fits In
ServiceNow’s capabilities support the core needs of HR leaders: productive employees and a better day-to-day experience. Gretchen Alarcon, Senior Vice President at ServiceNow, highlights the need for greater agility in onboarding. By pairing the automation of the Now Platform with Magnit’s solutions, organizations can deliver a consistent experience that serves both full-time and contingent workers without creating two separate tracks.
One Workforce, One View
Together, these platforms create a single picture of the workforce and the work in motion. That unified view streamlines steps, sharpens decision-making, and supports more strategic workforce planning. One workforce, one view—so leaders can act with confidence.
