In episode 672 of the HRchat show, we explore remote I-9 options and discuss ways to reduce audit exposure. My guest this time is Chapelle Ryon, the data-driven CEO behind WorkBright, an onboarding and recruitment platform for HR and recruitment teams.
Chapelle’s team is on a mission to ease administrative burdens and Form I-9 pain for HR professionals. WorkBright’s market share in the onboarding space has been increasing exponentially in an uncertain I-9 world! In her tenure with the business, WorkBright has achieved triple bottom line status as a B Corp and consistently places on Outside Magazine’s Best Places to Work with strong financial results of 40% YoY growth and profitability.
Questions for Chapelle include:
- WorkBright has been named a Best Place to Work by Outside for 4 years running! Congrats! What does it take to create and nurture a culture of engagement and innovation?
- WorkBright is a Certified B Corporation. What does that say about the org and its values?
- WorkBright’s mission centers around Form I-9, which is a very specific space! Why build a product for a single specific form? Why does this matter for HR professionals?
- What changes have you observed in the I-9 space recently? Has anything changed since Covid?
- When you’re dealing with people’s data and a highly regulated space, how do you approach prioritizing high-demand needs?
- You mentioned an ebook, The Ultimate Guide to I-9 Compliance. Tell us more about this.
