WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
Collect statutory ID documents: PAN, Aadhaar or Passport, proof of address
Trigger background verification immediately. Vendors don't follow up without being chased
Decide on device or WFH setup: who procures it, who owns the asset, is there a stipend
Confirm payroll cut-off date with your EOR. Missing it delays the first salary by a full month
Confirm the offer letter issued by the EOR, not your company
WHAT USUALLY BREAKS
Background check stalls after kickoff. No one follows up. The candidate is left waiting, the offer gets delayed, and the first impression is gone.
What India Onboarding Actually Costs.
Set it up yourself and you're coordinating four separate cost centres.
With TeemGenie, it's one flat fee from Day 1.
