If you look closely at every broken onboarding funnel in HR Tech, you’ll notice the same invisible villain at work: data friction.

A new employee tries to onboard a platform - a payroll tool, a benefits app, a lending journey, a financial wellness product, an insurance enrollment portal - and the very first thing they encounter is a form. Not one. Several. All demanding information that already exists in their HRMS.

Employee IDs, DOJ, salary, dependents, department, location, work email history, past CTC structures, payroll cycles, PF/UAN details. In theory, this data has been verified long before the employee ever reaches your product. In practice, you end up begging for it again.

And every time you ask for data the HRMS already has, your conversion drops.

The employee feels annoyed.
The employer wonders why your platform cannot “just fetch it.”
Your product team adds friction they never intended.
Your sales team fights objections they shouldn’t have to.
And your growth team loses prospects who simply walk away.

This is where the conversation changes - because this entire flow is now fixable.

The Onboarding Problem Isn’t UX. It’s Data Access.

Most onboarding optimizations stop at UI improvements: shorter forms, dynamic fields, progress bars, nudges.
All useful.
All limited.

Because the real blocker isn’t the form.
It’s the fact that you’re asking for data instead of confirming it.

Employees shouldn’t type their salary.

• They should authorize it.

• They shouldn’t enter dependents.

• They should review them.

• They shouldn’t upload documents.

• They should simply consent to fetch what’s already verified.

When onboarding becomes a process of verification rather than collection, your funnel does something magical: it begins to convert.

And that’s exactly what deep, consent-first HRMS Sync allows you to deliver.

What HRMS-Synced Onboarding Actually Feels Like

Imagine your platform through the eyes of an employee:

• They log in. 

• They see a single permission screen.

• It clearly states what data is being fetched and why - employee details, salary, dependents.

• They approve.

• Your system instantly pulls verified data from the employer’s HRMS through Tartan’s HyperSync.

• Onboarding completes in seconds.

There was no typing.
No uploads.
No back and forth.
Just a frictionless path to value.

To the employee, it feels like magic.
To the employer, it feels enterprise-grade.
To your product, it feels like onboarding finally caught up with 2025.

But to your business - the impact is even bigger.

When You Remove Data Friction, Your Metrics Move

Conversion is just the beginning.
The real story is what happens after onboarding.

With verified HR data flowing into your product, your underwriting becomes stronger, your risk algorithms get better inputs, your personalization becomes accurate, your employer dashboards reduce manual errors, and your cost of support declines sharply.

Employers trust products that respect their workflows.
Employees trust flows that respect their time.
Your platform evolves from “another tool asking for data” to “the system that plugs into the source of truth.”

And this is where Tartan enters the picture narratively - not as a feature, but as the infrastructure layer you have been missing.

HyperSync: The Data Layer That Makes Zero-Friction Onboarding Possible

To build a modern HR Tech onboarding experience, you need one thing above all: a unified, consent-led, plug-and-play way to access employee data from any HRMS.

Not point-to-point integrations.
Not CSV uploads.
Not API chaos.
A single connection that works across systems, formats, structures, and HRMS silos.

Tartan’s HyperSync is exactly that.

With coverage across 200+ HRMS platforms in India, automated schema normalization, real-time refreshes, consent capture, and data reliability checks, it gives your product the ability to fetch employee, salary, and dependent information instantly - the same data you currently spend days chasing.

The outcome?
A genuinely automated onboarding experience where your user’s first interaction with your product is the moment they see value.

The Competitive Edge No HR Tech Product Can Ignore

There’s a reason the best-performing HR Tech and Fintech products globally have one thing in common: they don’t rely on users to enter data.

They rely on systems to sync it.

And in India’s fragmented HRMS ecosystem, whoever solves this sync problem wins the onboarding war.

If your competitors still onboard manually, you get to differentiate.
If they’ve automated onboarding, you can’t afford to be behind.
If everyone is doing it, only the platform with deeper, cleaner, more reliable data wins.

The value is straightforward:

• Faster onboarding → higher conversions

• Verified HRMS data → lower risk

• Fewer manual inputs → better user satisfaction

• Employer-grade workflows → faster enterprise sales

• Real-time data → stronger product features

It’s not just a better onboarding flow.
It’s a fundamentally stronger business.

Moment to Act

Every month you stay with manual onboarding, you lose users you don’t even see leave.
Every sales conversation includes “but your onboarding takes time.”
Every product cycle is slowed down by inaccurate or incomplete employee data.
Every employer evaluating you asks why data cannot be auto-fetched.

The market has already moved.
HR Tech founders, Payroll/Benefits PMs, Risk/Underwriting teams, Employer Platforms - expect onboarding to be zero friction, zero guesswork, and zero manual entry.

If you want onboarding that converts, that delights, and that scales, you need onboarding that connects.

And connectivity starts with HRMS sync.

Your users are ready. Your employers are ready. Your product is ready.

The only question is whether you want onboarding to remain your bottleneck - or become your advantage.
