Employee onboarding
An employee onboarding platform: the new hire grows into the role
Softbook for employee onboarding is a platform where a new hire goes through one program: courses, policies, and a check, with the manager seeing the progress.
- One onboarding program for everyone

Onboarding a new hire used to mean chats, PDFs, and "go ask a colleague." Now it's one onboarding track, and you can see who's ready.
Onboarding track
One onboarding track: every new hire starts the same way
For a company this means the new hire goes through the same start rather than depending on which mentor they got. You build the onboarding track out of modules, and hand role-specific tracks out by department group.
- An onboarding track made of modules: video, policies, tests
- Role tracks through groups — a separate path for a role or a department
- AI speeds up building the onboarding program
Knowledge base
Policies at hand: the rules don't get lost in files
For a company this means instructions and policies sit in one reference section instead of scattered documents. The new hire finds the answer themselves, without pulling the team away.
- A reference section outside the courses: categories and entries
- Draft and publish — you update it when processes change
- All in the same platform where the onboarding happens
Access
The new hire connects on their own: added, and already onboarding
For a company this means onboarding starts without anyone handing out access. Automations assign the track when an employee is added, and the welcome and the access open by themselves.
- The onboarding track assigned automatically when an employee is added
- The welcome and the access open on an event
- Employees from your own system can be brought in through the API (a developer sets this up)
Progress
You can see who is ready for the work and who isn't yet
For a company this means the manager can see who finished onboarding and who is stuck. Analytics show progress for every new hire, and a confirmation records that the required training was done.
- Progress by new hire: who finished the track, who is stuck
- Confirmation of required training — a certificate with a serial number and a QR code
- A breakdown by department and by role
Real schools. Real results. Real people.
Founders and creators on what works best for them in Softbook.
"We picked Softbook because we needed one platform for selling courses and managing students. What we value most: video uploads, clear pricing with no surprises, and support that actually listens and acts."
Mike Pritula
Mike Pritula Academy
"The team moved all my lessons over by hand — I have no idea how I would have done it myself. They were careful about it. They keep improving the platform, they listen to what you ask for, and they genuinely look after every client."
Tanya Mykhalchenko
PPC advertising school
"Before we switched, we tried selling video lessons through Instagram, but without an admin it was impossible. Here I uploaded the courses, set up automatic payments — and the system runs itself. The courses bring in steady income without me being involved every day."
Olga Miller
Director, recruiting school
"We built a big knowledge base for our students on Softbook. No more 'live' sessions with speakers — everything is recorded and laid out in modules with tests and assignments. Our instructional designers can finally breathe."
Alexey Dinar
Personal coach
"Your platform solved a problem I had been struggling with for a long time. I uploaded a few courses, set up automatic payments — and stopped worrying about the technical side. I can see the courses selling and bringing in income every month."

Founder, Kyiv School of Cleaning
"In two years with Softbook we have built a full agency with an education arm. The platform covers everything we need."
