Sign Document

Allows Candidates to digitally sign documents within the workflow using an integrated e-signature system.

How It Works #

  1. The Candidate reaches the Sign Document Step.
  2. A document is prepared for signing.
  3. The Candidate verifies their identity (via OTP).
  4. The Candidate reviews and signs the document digitally.
  5. The document is finalised and stored.
  6. The Journey continues to the next Step.

How the Runner Handles Signing #

  • Requires OTP verification before the Candidate can access the document
  • Locks the document after signing (prevents changes)
  • Prevents duplicate signing
  • Supports multi-signer flows (if configured)

What Admin / Reviewer Sees #

From the Candidate record, admins can:

  • Track document status (Sent / Signed)
  • View or download the signed document
  • Monitor signer activity

Example #

Scenario: The Candidate must sign an employment agreement before onboarding continues.

Flow:

  1. Candidate receives the document
  2. Candidate verifies identity and signs
  3. Signed document is stored in the Candidate record
  4. Journey continues to the next Step

Tips #

  • Always Save after uploading the document before editing the template
  • Place signature fields clearly on the document
  • Use Reminders to reduce drop-off on unsigned documents
  • Place Require Sign-In before this Step if additional identity verification is needed

Notes #

  • Requires a valid email or phone number for OTP verification
  • Uses an external e-signature provider
  • Signed documents are stored in the Candidate record and can be downloaded
