1. Review your offer information.
Loan-Outs: If you were onboarded as a loan-out employee, you’ll see a note regarding your loan-out profile under the “Your Hiring Profile” section. You’ll need to add a loan-out entity before you can continue accepting your offer. Learn more about this here.
If you are satisfied with the deal memo, click Begin Start Packet Forms.
