Question 1

What is HandoffHatch?

Accepted Answer

HandoffHatch is an onboarding coordination product in development for small businesses in the U.S. It is being built to keep new-hire tasks, owners, deadlines, and progress visible in one focused handoff layer.

Question 2

Who is HandoffHatch for?

Accepted Answer

The current focus is small or seasonal-hiring teams that need a clearer path from a new hire to first-day readiness, without adopting a full HR platform for every onboarding handoff.

Question 3

How does HandoffHatch coordinate onboarding work?

Accepted Answer

The product is being built around owner-authored checklists, assignees, due dates, and status updates. The goal is to make the next action and the person responsible for it easy to see, from the initial handoff through first-day readiness.

Question 4

What capabilities are planned?

Accepted Answer

The current product direction includes checklist progress, deadline-aware reminders, and a view of pending or overdue work grouped by hire, task, due date, or assignee. These are planned capabilities, not a promise that every item is available today.

Question 5

Are automated reminders available today?

Accepted Answer

HandoffHatch is still in development. A planned AI coordinator may use task status and deadlines to nudge the right assignee or manager, but current availability and final reminder behavior have not been established.

Question 6

Where are employee documents kept?

Accepted Answer

Your business keeps its employee documents. HandoffHatch is designed around coordinating onboarding work without collecting employee documents, so it does not replace the systems or processes your business uses for its records.

Question 7

Who makes HR compliance decisions?

Accepted Answer

Your business does. HandoffHatch does not make HR compliance decisions, interpret requirements, or determine which rules apply to your team. Your business remains responsible for its records and for verifying the requirements that apply to it.

Question 8

Is HandoffHatch a payroll, HRIS, or compliance platform?

Accepted Answer

No. The product scope is onboarding coordination: keeping tasks, handoffs, deadlines, and reminders organized. HandoffHatch is not presented as a full payroll, compliance, or HRIS system.

Question 9

Is HandoffHatch available now?

Accepted Answer

HandoffHatch is under development, and service availability has not been established. This page describes the product direction and boundaries rather than promising access to a finished service.

Question 10

What does HandoffHatch cost?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed price to share yet. Pricing fit is still being validated against hiring volume, seasonal patterns, and which coordination views matter most to small businesses.
