Get an employment contract signed
Days often pass between a verbal offer and a signed contract, because the document has to be printed, signed, scanned and sent back. That is exactly the window in which candidates drop out. With signhere you send the contract as a link, it is opened on a phone and returned signed - usually within minutes. For internship, working-student and part-time contracts this is the normal case. Note that in Germany the statutory record of essential working conditions may still have to be handed over on paper with a handwritten signature.
From offer to signature, faster
Upload the contract, add your email address and share the link. Your status page shows when it was opened, which replaces the follow-up message. Once signed, the PDF arrives as an attachment and can go straight into the personnel file.
Signing multi-page contracts cleanly
Employment contracts usually run over several pages with signature fields for both sides. signhere detects them, counts them and scrolls to the next open spot after each signature. Before finishing it warns you if a suggested spot is still empty.

Is a digitally signed employment contract effective?
Concluding an employment contract is possible without any particular form, even verbally. Stricter form requirements apply to the statutory record of conditions and to terminations.
Can I set a password?
Yes, and with salary figures involved it is a good idea: set a password on the status page and pass it on by phone.
How long do you keep the contract?
Signed documents are deleted automatically after 30 days, so store the PDF in your own system.
