Firstwork

Reading licenses with AI was the easier part of V1. The hard part was figuring out that "Sarah Chen" with a Texas nursing license, "S. Chen" with an expired California one, and "Sarah J. Chen" in New York are all the same person. The matching logic took longer to build than the AI did.

Looks exciting. How is this different from Greenhouse, Workday, or Fountain?

the compliance looks promising. But I missed the price to use this for startups

We started with solving hiring and onboarding.Ran into everything around it - scheduling, follow-ups, training, compliance - spread across tools and manual work.So we built across that layer - automations, calendars, hiring flows, LMS, AI agents, even callers - to make it hold together.Feels right in parts. Curious where it doesn’t.

Do you help in hiring international resources? Onboarding international resources is still a huge challenge for us.

A much needed product in the market! This feels less like another generic AI hiring tool and more like operations infrastructure for frontline teams. I'm excited for the robust integrations, could be a game changer.

We worked with Firstwork at my last workplace and they cut down the time it takes to review documents and perform browser-based tasks from hours to seconds for us, which had a huge positive effect on cutting down the overall time to onboard new employees. Highly recommend them!

The compliance rules engine is the part of Firstwork we're proudest of. The average recruiter was losing about four hours a week to verification checks and manual compliance lookups, and we built the engine to give that time back.

Most HR tech content hides behind vague claims and broad benefits. Firstwork is solving for a precise problem, revolving around frontline workers stuck in an activation gap that costs employers candidates and revenue every day. We say exactly what it does and exactly who it's for. Excited to see what the community thinks.

First time this clicked for me: I watched an ops manager pull up her browser. 14 tabs open, switching between them while talking to a candidate. ATS, e-sign, two state licensing portals, training tracker, scheduler, spreadsheet. She said "I do this 30 times a day." We collapsed her workflow into one tab. She sighed with relief. That was my aha moment.

Hi Product Hunt. Shubham here from Firstwork.3 weeks. That's how long many frontline hiring teams still take to move workers from application to first shift.Not because recruiting failed. Because operational workflows slow everything down.Verification. Training. Scheduling. Compliance. Documentation.Meanwhile:Workers drop offRecruiters chase paperworkOps teams rebuild schedulesCompliance teams prepare for audits manuallyWe built Firstwork to operationalize the entire workflow.Firstwork automates document validation, verification, onboarding, training, compliance, and scheduling in one clean, operational pipeline.Workers reach Day-1 faster. Ops teams reduce manual follow-up. Compliance workflows stay audit-ready.The thing we didn't expect: customers talked about audit readiness almost as much as hiring speed.One customer told us, "We passed an audit without scrambling for documentation for the first time in years."If you run frontline hiring or workforce operations, I'd love to hear where your biggest bottlenecks are today.
