Screen recorder for employee onboarding

Last updated

Fastest way: record it right here — no install, no signup.

Record the walkthrough once, share the link with every new hire. The video, the AI transcript, and the Markdown export for AI assistants — all in one URL.

Two onboarding workflows.

Onboarding videos fail when they are one-shot Zoom calls. The pattern that works: record once, link forever.

A 20-minute "first day" walkthrough for the new hire

You record a single 20-minute walkthrough of the systems the new hire needs on day one: how to log into the VPN, where the team wiki lives, how to claim a dev environment, how to find the on-call schedule, where the lunch order goes. The recording is one Pullsy link. The new hire watches at their own pace, asks the video 'where is the on-call schedule?' and gets a timestamped answer. The HR team can re-use the same link for the next hire. The video is not a one-shot Zoom call; it is a permanent onboarding artifact.

A 5-minute "how to file an expense report" video reply to a Slack question

Someone in #general asks "wait, how do I file an expense report again?" Instead of typing out the steps, you record a 5-minute walkthrough of the expense-report tool, save the Pullsy link, and paste it in the Slack thread. The link is now searchable for the next person who asks the same question. Over a year, this becomes a searchable library of internal how-tos — all generated in the time it would have taken to type the answer.

Frequently asked

How does this differ from a Loom for onboarding?

Loom is a great onboarding tool, but it has two practical limits for a small team: the free tier caps at 25 videos, and the AI features (transcript, summary, ask-the-video) are paywalled to Loom Business + AI at ~$20/user/month. For an HR team recording onboarding videos for a rotating cast of new hires, Pullsy's free tier — unlimited recordings, free AI features, 30-day hosted retention — covers the common case. For long-term retention (the same onboarding video needs to be available in 6 months), Pullsy Pro adds 90-day+ retention, custom domain, and password protection for the share link.

Is there a way to turn the recording into a written SOP?

Pullsy Pro is launching a SOP export feature — it takes a recording, runs the AI summary, and turns the steps into a written step-by-step guide with screenshots. This is the natural workflow for onboarding: record the walkthrough once, get a written <a href="/glossary/sop-standard-operating-procedure/" class="text-emerald-400 hover:text-emerald-300 underline">SOP</a> that the new hire can reference without watching the video. The Pro tier is in private beta; join the waitlist from the /record page to be notified at launch. The Markdown export at /v/<id>.md is the closest free feature today: every recording has a clean Markdown file that any AI assistant can read.

Can I password-protect the onboarding video?

Pullsy's free tier produces unlisted links — the link itself is the gate. For password-protected links (the new hire types a password before they can watch), password protection is a Pro tier feature and is on the roadmap. For most onboarding workflows, the unlisted link is enough: only the new hire gets the URL, and the URL is not indexed. If you need stricter access control, the Pro tier will add password protection, link expiry, and a custom domain (e.g., onboarding.yourcompany.com/handbook).
