How to choose a Appical alternative
- Check that onboarding writes straight into your payroll and HRMS records; re-keying data is where joining errors come from.
- Test the new-hire experience on a phone: most Indian candidates complete forms on mobile.
- If you hire in batches (campus, retail, BPO), look for bulk onboarding and bulk letter generation.
