Your Top Candidate
Just Took Another Offer.
Your Hiring Manager
Couldn't Send Theirs.
The industry pricing model is broken.
We created Propper to fix that.

Use Cases
Every Hire Has Paperwork. Move It Faster.
Offer Letters
~10-50/month depending on hiring paceTop candidate has competing offers. Your hiring manager can't send because they don't have a DocuSign seat.
Any hiring manager sends without a seat license. Candidate signs from their phone. Track and countersign from one dashboard.
Onboarding Packets
~10-50/month depending on company sizeI-9, W-4, direct deposit, handbook ack, equipment form. Six documents, six envelopes, one new hire.
Bundle the entire packet into one document. New hire signs everything in one session before day one.
Policy Acknowledgments
Company-wide, 1-2x per yearAnnual handbook update means every employee signs. 500 employees = 500 envelopes in one week.
Send in bulk. Track who has and hasn't signed. Follow up individually without resending to everyone.
NDAs & Non-Competes
Every hire, every contractor, every promotion with new scope. High-stakes documents that need clean execution.
Templated with pre-filled fields. Sequential signing with legal review. Stored with complete audit trail.
This Is Costing You More Than You Think
The Monday Morning Fire Drill
It's 8:47 AM. Your top candidate has a competing offer expiring at noon. The hiring manager doesn't have a DocuSign license. The offer routes to HR. HR is in back-to-back interviews. The offer sits. At 11:30, the candidate accepts the other offer.
You just lost a $150K hire because of a $40/month seat license nobody approved.
With Propper: Any hiring manager sends the offer in 30 seconds. Candidate signs from their phone. Done before lunch.
The Onboarding Paper Chase
New hire starts Monday. It's Thursday. They haven't signed their I-9, W-4, direct deposit form, handbook acknowledgment, emergency contacts, or equipment agreement. Six documents. Six envelopes. Six emails. Six follow-ups.
The new hire hasn't started and they already think you're disorganized.
With Propper: Bundle the entire onboarding packet into one document. New hire signs everything in one session from their phone - before day one.
The Acknowledgment Avalanche
Updated harassment policy. 500 employees need to sign. On DocuSign, that's 500 envelopes - burned in a single day. Do that twice a year and you've blown through your annual allotment on a compliance checkbox.
With Propper: Send in bulk. Track who signed. Follow up individually - without resending to everyone or burning another envelope.
You Only Pay When a Document Is Completed.
Not when it is opened.
Not when it is resent.
Not when it is ignored.
Only when it is completed.
If it does not close, you do not pay.
Meanwhile, your current tool counted that envelope the moment you clicked send.
Your best candidate will not wait for a DocuSign envelope to clear.
The Product
Built for Signing. Nothing Else.
Clean interface. No feature bloat. Your team is productive from day one.

What you are paying
How You Pay Today
- $25-$40+/month per recruiter, generalist, and coordinator
- Hiring managers need licenses too, or everything routes through HR
- Every offer, I-9, and acknowledgment is an envelope
- Company-wide acknowledgments cost one envelope per employee
- Growth spikes seat and envelope costs simultaneously
Costs scale with headcount and hiring. Not outcomes.

The Numbers HR Leaders Can't Ignore
43%
of candidates accept the first offer that arrives with a clean, fast signing experience. If your offer letter is sitting in a queue while the candidate's other offer is in their inbox - you've already lost.
1 in 3
new hires leave within six months citing poor onboarding. Every unsigned document on day one tells them this company doesn't have its act together.
$252-$2,507
per form - the penalty for a single I-9 violation. Multiply that by a sloppy paper trail, and a single audit could cost more than years of eSignature software.
14 hrs/week
what the average HR team loses to manual document processes. That's 728 hours per year your team could spend on people, not paperwork.
