When initiating or creating a task group—or building a workflow that includes task groups—you have the option to require tasks to be completed in order. This setting creates a guided experience by ensuring each task is finished before the next one becomes available.
Below are the key reasons why requiring tasks to be completed in order is a great choice for your pre-hire workflows.
Why Require Tasks to Be Completed in Order?
1. Guides users step by step
- Tasks are presented in a clear, logical sequence
- Users always know exactly what to do next
- Eliminates guesswork during the pre-hire process
2. Reduces errors and delays
- Some tasks rely on information collected in earlier steps
- Completing tasks in order helps prevent mistakes and rework
- Keeps the process moving without unnecessary interruptions
3. Ensures required forms and acknowledgements are completed
- Certain documents must be finished before moving forward
- Prevents users from skipping required steps
- Helps maintain compliance and consistency
4. Creates a smoother pre-hire experience
- A structured flow feels less overwhelming than a long checklist
- Increases overall task completion rates
- Improves the candidate and hiring team experience
5. Ensures accurate setup from day one
- Downstream processes depend on correct task completion
- Helps offer letters, benefits, and system access work as expected
- Reduces issues caused by missing or incomplete information
6. Minimizes back-and-forth with administrators
- Clear task order reduces follow-up questions
- Fewer reminders and manual check-ins are needed
- Lowers the number of support requests
Best Used When
- Tasks depend on one another
- Required documentation or acknowledgements are involved
- You want a guided, “do-this-next” pre-hire experience
