For onboarding
A screen recorder for onboarding that doesn't send new hires to a 90-minute video.
Everything Loom charges for — free.
It's Monday, your fourth new hire this quarter just got their laptop. You have 90 minutes of recorded walkthroughs from your last onboarding cycle — laptop setup, SSO enrollment, VPN install, codebase tour, design system walkthrough, data warehouse primer. You dump all six links in the new hire's Slack DM with the message "watch these when you have time."
They watch the first video for 90 seconds, get pulled into a real task by their manager, and never come back. By Friday, they've cobbled together enough context to be useful, but you have no idea what they actually consumed and they're quietly missing the SSO setup that bites them in week 3. Pullsy's onboarding flow turns each walkthrough into a written guide (so the new hire can scan), an Ask-this-video panel (so they can ask without bothering anyone), and analytics for you (so you see who watched what before day 3).
Async onboarding for remote teams — the actual flow.
Here's the concrete timeline for a new hire joining a remote team. The whole loop, with what each artifact looks like.
HR records the first-day setup walkthrough
A 12-minute video: laptop setup, SSO enrollment, password manager install, Slack join, HR system login. Pullsy auto-generates a numbered checklist (the guide), a transcript, an Ask-this-video panel, and analytics.

New hire watches + asks questions
The new hire clicks the link, watches for 11 minutes, then asks: "where do I get the VPN config?" Pullsy returns the answer ("IT will email it to you on Day 2") with a clickable timestamp at 8:42. The new hire moves on in 10 seconds. HR doesn't have to answer the question.

IT records the VPN + SSO walkthrough
IT records a 6-minute screen recording of installing the VPN, signing in with SSO, getting the second factor set up, and confirming the connection. Pullsy turns it into a guide the new hire can refer back to on day 30 when the VPN client has an issue.

Each team drops in a team-specific walkthrough
Engineering manager records a 15-minute "how our codebase is laid out" walkthrough. Design lead records 12 minutes on "where the design system lives." Data team records 18 minutes on "how to query the warehouse." All three are auto-chaptered, have searchable transcripts, and have Ask-this-video panels.
3 separate Pullsy links, all unlisted, all private.
Onboarding lead checks the analytics
The onboarding lead opens Pullsy's analytics for the new hire's first-week content. They see: new hire watched 80% of "first-day setup," skipped the optional benefits chapter, watched 60% of "how the codebase is laid out," and rewatched the SSO section twice. They know what the new hire actually consumed and what to follow up on.

Walkthroughs become the permanent docs
The first-day setup, VPN setup, and team-specific walkthroughs stay at their share links. They're now the canonical onboarding docs — every new hire for the next two years uses the same recordings. Ask-this-video still works on recordings from 2024; a new hire in 2026 types a question and gets the answer.
Onboarding library: 8–12 unlisted Pullsy links, indexed by team.
Loom vs Pullsy for onboarding.
| Onboarding need | Loom Free | Loom Business | Pullsy Free |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recording length per walkthrough | 5 min cap — many walkthroughs need to be split | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Walkthrough → written guide | No | No | Yes, free |
| New hire can ask the walkthrough a question | No | No | Yes — Ask-this-video |
| Onboarding lead sees who watched what | No | Yes | Yes, free |
| SSO + central workspace | No | Yes | Team tier (~€12/seat/mo) |
| Watermark on walkthroughs | Yes — on every video | No | No, ever |
Ask-this-video — so new hires don't Slack the manager 11 times.
The new hire\'s first instinct is to ask a human. The manager\'s first instinct is to say "I made a Loom about that, watch the first 8 minutes." With Ask-this-video, the new hire types their actual question into the video itself and gets a timestamped answer from the transcript. The manager doesn\'t get pinged. The new hire doesn\'t get a "watch 90 minutes" answer. Loom has no equivalent.
Auto-guide — so the walkthrough IS the runbook.
Each Pullsy walkthrough turns into a numbered, step-by-step guide. The new hire can scan the guide instead of rewatching the video. Six months from now, when someone needs to onboard the next person, the guide is already there — they\'re not re-writing docs from scratch.
Free view analytics — see who actually watched before day 3.
The onboarding lead sees, on Monday of week 2, that the new hire watched 80% of "first-day setup" and skipped the optional benefits chapter. They know exactly what to follow up on and what to leave alone. Loom gates the same data behind Business (~$18/user/mo).
Frequently asked questions
How do new hires get access to the onboarding recordings?
Pullsy links are unlisted by default — anyone with the link can watch, no signup, no account. Most teams drop the onboarding link list in the new hire's Day 1 Slack DM or HR system welcome email. For SSO-protected access, the Team tier adds a workspace with SSO integration.
Can old onboarding videos be kept private when an employee leaves?
Pullsy links are unlisted (not indexed, not discoverable), but anyone with the link can watch. If a former employee had the link list, they technically still have access until you delete the recordings. The standard pattern is: keep the recordings, but rotate the share links at the end of each quarter if your content is sensitive. The Team tier adds link-level access controls.
What happens when someone leaves the company?
Their access to your SSO-protected workspace (Team tier) gets revoked. Their personal Pullsy account — if they had one — keeps whatever recordings they personally made (which is what you'd want for their personal work, but not for company-internal docs). For the latter, the recordings should live in the team workspace, not on a personal account.
Do I need a paid plan for the whole onboarding team?
No. The free tier is enough for a small team sharing onboarding recordings: unlimited videos, unlimited length, no watermark, free analytics, Ask-this-video. Pro adds custom domain (videos.yourcompany.com) and unlimited AI usage. Team adds the shared workspace + SSO. Most onboarding programs use Pro for the public-facing link and Free for the rest.
Does the new hire see analytics on their own watching?
No — analytics are visible only to the recording owner. The new hire watches, asks questions, and moves on. The onboarding lead sees the analytics, not the new hire.
Is Pullsy affiliated with Loom?
No. Loom is a trademark of Atlassian. Pullsy is an independent product not affiliated with or endorsed by Loom. Plan details above are dated to July 2026 from Loom's public pricing pages.
