Why choose CapoFine?

Choose CapoFine to organise the employee experience around technical preparation, with recruitment, company discovery, manager involvement and continuing learning in the same Suite.

Make the first weeks clear to the person joining

When the laptop arrives, the employee still needs to meet their team, understand the company and know what the manager expects. Onboard turns those needs into a visible journey. Schedule introductions, match a buddy and use company stories and puzzles to make the first weeks active.

Put practical preparation in that journey too. Assign tasks to IT, HR and other owners, with deadlines and status that make responsibilities visible. Managers can approve early goals and follow progress. Device provisioning and application access stay with your IT tools, while Onboard coordinates the people waiting on that work.

  • Give employees meetings, tasks and goals to follow.
  • Track IT preparation with a named owner.
  • Help new hires discover colleagues and company knowledge.

Connect the hiring process to a prepared welcome

Hire gives recruiters a place to manage vacancies, candidates, communication and interviews. Keep interview feedback with the candidate record, generate documents and support provider-based digital signing. Those capabilities give the team a recruitment process that leads into the same Suite as the employee welcome.

After hiring, an automatic handoff starts the Onboard journey. Assign the manager's first meeting, the buddy introduction and practical preparation to the people responsible. If Rippling or another platform continues to handle HR or IT administration, agree the connection and retain clear ownership of employee data, accounts and devices.

  • Manage candidate pipelines and interview feedback.
  • Generate documents and use provider-based digital signing.
  • Connect the hired candidate with their onboarding journey.

Keep role learning visible after setup is complete

Getting access to a tool is different from learning how your company uses it. Grow supports the courses and pathways employees need for their role, from internal processes to product knowledge. Assign learning to the relevant audience and let employees follow their progress as they complete the work.

Formal assessments provide a way to check understanding, with pass scores, retries and completion certificates. Points and badges can support participation across ongoing learning. Connect Onboard events to Grow assignments so a new hire can move from the practical welcome into the courses needed for their next responsibilities.

  • Create learning around the work employees perform.
  • Check understanding with assessments and retries.
  • Connect the welcome to continuing course assignments.

Ready to switch
to CapoFine?

Begin by separating employee activities from technical actions. Rippling can own devices, accounts and HR administration, so replacing the welcome does not mean moving every process. Decide which responsibilities stay there, then build the meetings, company content, tasks and learning you want CapoFine to manage.

Plan your move with usExplore security and data handling
  1. Separate technical actions from journey tasks

    Map the current onboarding workflow and identify what actually provisions a device or account. Keep those actions assigned to the responsible IT systems. Record the preparation tasks, employee messages and manager responsibilities that need to appear in the CapoFine journey.

  2. Build the people and learning journey

    Create the introductions, buddy activities, company stories and early goals in Onboard. Add preparation tasks with the correct owners and the Grow learning employees need. Check the employee view alongside the views used by the manager and HR coordinator.

  3. Check changes and incomplete preparation

    Walk through a changed start date, an overdue IT task and a new hire who needs help. Check that each action has a responsible owner. Preserve the required historical records and agree any data connections before moving the next employee intake.

  • A workflow map separating provisioning from human tasks.
  • IT and HR system owners and required data connections.
  • Company content, manager goals and learning materials.
