Hiring and HR

Offer letters your candidates actually understand.

“Did my new hire understand what they signed — or just sign it?”

Your workforce speaks more languages than your paperwork does. XOsign explains offer letters, employment agreements, and policies in plain language, translates them for candidates and employees who read another language, and collects signatures on any device — because people deserve to understand what they sign on day one. No HR department? It does the same work for a small employer hiring their first few people.

Hiring paperwork should not be the slow part of hiring. Drop an offer letter, handbook, or policy into XOsign and it explains what it says in plain language, translates it for the person signing, places the signature fields for you, and files the executed copy under that employee.

Offers and policies in English, Spanish, and 40+ languages.

How it works for you

  1. 1

    Drop it in

    Drop in the offer letter or policy — or start from an offer-letter template.

  2. 2

    Do the one thing

    Read the plain-language summary, translate it if you need to, and send it for signature.

  3. 3

    Keep it and know where it went

    It is filed under that employee, searchable, with a record of who signed and when.

Most tools stop at the signature. XOsign starts four steps earlier.

Understand & translate

Every employee understands the terms of their own job.

An offer letter is a life decision for the person reading it. XOsign puts employment documents side by side with a translation and explains each term in plain language — compensation, classification, at-will status — so new hires sign with genuine understanding, not just a signature.

  • Plain-language explanation of pay, benefits, and conditions of employment.
  • Side-by-side translation — English and Spanish first, 40+ languages available.
  • Translations built to preserve the legal meaning of the original.
  • Employees can ask what any term means before they sign, not after.
Analyze

Know what your employment documents actually say.

Whether you wrote the agreement or inherited it, XOsign highlights the terms that matter to both sides of the employment relationship — the ones that surface later in disputes, audits, and exit conversations.

At-will & termination terms

How employment ends, what notice is owed, and what survives it.

Pay, bonus & clawbacks

Base, bonus, commission and vesting terms, the conditions on each, and what lets pay be taken back.

Non-compete & non-solicit

Where the employee can work next, for how long, and in what geography.

Confidentiality & IP assignment

What the company owns of the employee’s work, including what they build on their own time.

Employee vs. contractor

Classification terms that carry real tax and legal consequences when wrong.

Releases in separation

What a departing employee gives up in exchange for severance.

Arbitration & class waivers

Whether disputes go to court or arbitration — and what the employee waives.

Policy acknowledgment gaps

Handbook and policy acknowledgments that are missing, stale, or unsigned.

Refine

Refine your offers and policies before they go out.

XOsign suggests where employment documents are vague or incomplete — unclear bonus conditions, missing acknowledgments, ambiguous classification language — so the paperwork behind every hire is as solid as the hire.

  • Flag ambiguous compensation and bonus language before it becomes a dispute.
  • Suggest missing terms an offer letter or contractor agreement usually carries.
  • Clarify policy language employees are asked to acknowledge.
  • Keep documents readable — plain language is a retention tool too.
XOsign is AI-assisted and helps you understand and improve your agreements. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Sign

Signed before day one — from anywhere.

Send the offer by email or text the moment the candidate says yes, or sign in person during onboarding. Every signer reads in their language first, and HR keeps a clear signing history for every document in the file.

FAQ

Hiring and HR questions, answered.

Can XOsign explain an employment agreement before it is signed?
Yes, from either side. XOsign explains the document in plain language and highlights the terms that tend to matter most later — non-compete scope, IP assignment, arbitration, classification, and termination. It helps both sides understand the agreement and ask better questions; it does not tell anyone whether to sign it. For legal questions, consult a qualified attorney.
Can candidates read their offer letter in their own language?
Yes. XOsign presents the offer side by side with a translation — English and Spanish first, with 40+ languages including Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Chinese, and French — and explains each term in plain language. Translations preserve the legal meaning of the original but are not certified translations, and the signed record stays anchored to the original text.
Which HR documents does XOsign handle?
Offer letters, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, NDAs, non-competes, IP assignment agreements, handbook and policy acknowledgments, separation agreements, and full onboarding packets, among others.

XOsign provides AI-assisted document understanding and signing. It is not a substitute for legal advice, and translations preserve legal meaning but are not certified translations.
