# Hiring Your First Employee

> Step-by-step guide to hiring an EOR employee through Omnivoo's hiring wizard.

Once your company setup is complete, you can hire employees through Omnivoo's EOR hiring wizard. This guide walks you through it.

## Before You Start

Make sure you have:

* Completed [company setup](/eor/company-setup).
* The candidate's name and email address.
* The agreed monthly CTC (Cost to Company) in Indian Rupees (INR).

EOR hiring is available in India today. To engage people in other countries, use [contractors](/contractors/what-are-contractors) instead.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start the Hiring Wizard">
    From your **Home** dashboard, start hiring one of two ways:

    * Click the **Hire Employee** quick action, or
    * Click **+ Add People** and choose **India EOR employee**.

    The hiring wizard opens with four steps shown along the top: **Employee Info**, **Employment**, **Compensation**, and **Review**.

    <Info>
      If your company setup is not finished, Omnivoo first sends you to the company setup page to complete your registered address, signatory, billing, and agreements. See [Company Setup](/eor/company-setup).
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Employee Info">
    Fill in the candidate's details:

    * **First name** and **Last name:** as they should appear on employment records.
    * **Email address:** where they receive their onboarding invitation.
    * **Job title:** their role in your organization.

    The wizard validates each field as you go. Click **Next Step** to continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Employment">
    Set the employment terms:

    * **Country:** the employment country. EOR hiring is India only today, so this is fixed to India.
    * **Start date:** when employment begins.
    * **Work hours per week:** defaults to 40.
    * **Notice period:** in days, defaults to 30.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compensation">
    Enter the **Monthly CTC (INR)**. As you type, Omnivoo shows the equivalent formatted amount per month.

    Salaries are always set in INR. If your company is billed in another currency, your invoice converts from INR at the live exchange rate when payroll is approved, and the wizard shows a note explaining this.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review">
    The Review step (titled **Review & confirm**) summarizes everything:

    * Name, email, and job title.
    * Country and start date.
    * Work hours per week and notice period.
    * Monthly CTC, plus a currency conversion note if your invoice is not in INR.

    Check the details, then click **Create EOR Employee**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Happens Next

After you create the employee:

1. An EOR engagement is created for them.
2. The employee receives an onboarding invitation by email.
3. They complete [employee onboarding](/getting-started/employee-onboarding): statutory IDs, bank details, documents, investment declaration, and accepting their offer letter.
4. Omnivoo handles the Indian statutory registrations (PF, and ESI where applicable).

You can track each person's onboarding progress from **People > My Team**. See [People](/employer/employees).

## Hiring Multiple Employees

You can run the hiring wizard as many times as you need. Each employee gets their own compensation and their own onboarding flow.
