Personio + Contract Management: Best Practice?

Hi Personio Community 👋

I’m curious how you’re handling contract creation/management and e-signatures with Personio.

We’ve been testing Personio contract templates, but the editing options feel quite limited. On top of that, our plan includes only a limited number of e-signatures, so in some cases we still need to fall back to external tools (e.g., Word/PDF workflows) to get contracts out efficiently.

How are you doing this in your setup?

  • Are you managing contracts end-to-end in Personio (templates + signing)?

  • Or are you using a separate tool for contract management and/or e-signatures?

If you’re using a separate tool:

  • Which provider did you choose (contract tool and/or e-signature)?

  • How are you handling the integration with Personio in practice (native integration, Zapier/Make, API, manual steps)?

  • Any lessons learned or pitfalls to avoid?

From what I can tell, Personio doesn’t offer native integrations with many contract/e-signature providers, so I’d really appreciate hearing what’s working well for others.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@EevaT, if you’d like to reach a much larger group of people, you could ask this question also on the German community: community.personio.de.  

I see you’re already registered there with the same username.

 

(Let me know if you need help with translating, I’m happy to help)

 

Best,

Daniele

    Hi ​@EevaT,

    Generally I try to stick to Personio, from contract creation to eSignatures. However, we often have to individualise some documents so I have to combine platforms.

    I usually go ahead and create the document in Personio as a word document, download it and edit it locally on Word. Then, if only the employee needs to sign, I upload it as a PDF to Personio again and get them to sign it. As multiple signatures are not possible atm for an uploaded document on Personio, I use Docusign for these cases.

    I would actually love the feature to individualise the documents within Personio directly. ☺️

    btw, I thought the eSignature feature has been unlimited for a while now? Or is that just for certain plans?
