Hey IT managers, want to see which of your new hires can survive workplace chaos? Forget unrealistic deadlines, countless ‘I forgot my password’ tickets, forced socializing, obsolete legacy systems, and soul-crushing return-to-office policies.
Meet eSignature shopping, a deceptively simple task that quickly reveals new IT hires’ enthusiasm, patience, and perseverance. Watch as they navigate jargon-laden pricing pages, security checklists, and feature matrices, turning a simple shopping task into a stealthy character assessment test.
It begins with sending them on an impossible quest: find the perfect eSignature tool. One with transparent pricing, an intuitive interface, essential features, and lastly great customer support. Because, let’s be real, finding one that actually checks all those boxes is just as frustrating as working with overpaid, self-proclaimed geniuses who can’t remember their passwords. (Not that they ever create unique ones, but that’s a rant for another day.)
But let’s break it down into a three-step framework. Because we know sharp IT pros love a good framework. Consider this the ultimate resilience test for thriving in the beautiful chaos of your company.
The three levels of suffering:
1. Feature overload: More options with more confusion
Start by listing the features you actually need and the IT requirements within your organization. Sounds easy, right? Wrong.
Most platforms will bury you in features you’ll never use. Need a simple eSign tool? Get ready for a complex dashboard that feels like a puzzle. Want a smooth experience? Brace yourself for a frustrating mess instead.
2. Pricing: How to make cheap look expensive
Now comes the real challenge. Figuring out how much you’ll actually pay. Most eSign platforms display pricing like a magician doing sleight of hand. They distract you with a low starting price while the real costs lurk in the fine print.
Need advanced security? Extra fee. Want user management? Open your wallet. Need analytics? That’s locked behind another paywall. By the time you’ve unlocked the essentials, you’re paying far more than you signed up for.
3. Customer support: Where hopes die
Finally, support. Because honestly — you never know when the most important contract of your life needs signing, and your eSign platform decides it just…won’t.
Try reaching out for help, and you’ll get a ticket number, a vague response, and an invitation to wait indefinitely. Maybe your contract gets signed. Maybe it doesn’t. Who’s to say? Not them, that’s for sure.
A warning: If they’re not pulling their hair out, they’ve learned to navigate the storm
Most eSign platforms are the Bermuda Triangle of productivity. Unclear pricing. Clunky interfaces. And support that vanishes when you need it most. A true test of your new hire’s patience. But if they return with something simple, transparent, and stress-free, odds are they’ve landed on Signeasy — an exception that ruins the fun and restores their faith in eSignature platforms.
Want to see which of your new hires can handle a real challenge? Ask them to find an eSign platform. It’s like troubleshooting a system failure: frustrating, unpredictable, and full of hidden pitfalls. If they’ve found Signeasy, congratulations. You’ve got a keeper.
