You can assign another employee within your organization as a counter signer for E-Signature requests sent to new hires.
Note: E-Signatures are available to the Greenhouse Onboarding subscription tier only. Learn more about the differences between Greenhouse Onboarding and Greenhouse Welcome.
Create an E-Signature template and add a counter signer
First, configure a new E-Signature template to include a counter signer.
Note: Existing E-Signature templates that don't include the option for a counter signer cannot be given one retroactively.
When creating an E-Signature template in Settings, mark the checkbox Requires counter signer? to add a counter signer.
Use the Who should counter sign on this? dropdown to select a counter signer for this E-Signature document. You can select specific users by name or assign a counter signer by role, such as Manager or Onboarding Coordinator.
Continue setting up your E-Signature template as needed, then click Save.
Reassign a counter signer
You can reassign an E-Signature template's counter signer when:
- You request a new E-Signature from a new hire
- You edit an existing E-Signature request that includes a counter signer
Note: Only Owners and Coordinators can reassign counter signers for existing E-Signature requests.
Use the search bar on your Greenhouse Onboarding homepage to locate and open a new hire's employee profile.
In the employee's profile, navigate to Documents.
