First 10 minutes

What to do right after your team joins.

These steps orient your account before you post your first requirement. Take a few minutes to confirm access and settings.

01

Accept your invite

Follow the link in your invitation email and set your password. Legal acknowledgements are accepted during this step — read them before proceeding.

02

Confirm team access

Check who on your team has been granted access. Additional team members can be invited from the team section of your portal.

03

Review company settings

Confirm your company profile and any settings relevant to your account. Accurate company information helps Dr.CHRO match the right advisors.

04

Understand who can do what

Company admins can create requirements and manage the team. Company requesters can create requirements. Review your role with your account admin if you are unsure.

05

Create your first requirement

When you are ready, create a requirement to describe the HR situation you need help with. You can save a draft before submitting.

Inside the company portal

Six areas you will use as your engagement grows.

Your portal covers the full lifecycle from requirement to signoff, with invoicing and team management alongside.

Dashboard

Your dashboard shows the current state of all active work: requirements needing attention, shortlists awaiting review, invoices, and live engagements.

Requirements

Create, manage, and track your HR requirements here. Each requirement moves through a defined lifecycle from draft to delivery.

Shortlists

When Dr.CHRO has matched advisors to your requirement, the shortlist appears here for your review and selection.

Engagements

Active and completed engagements are managed here. Deliverables, communications, and signoff all happen within each engagement record.

Billing and invoices

Invoices issued against completed engagements are accessible here. Review, download, and track payment status from this section.

Team

Manage who has access to your company account, invite new team members, and review existing access from this section.

From requirement to delivery

How a requirement becomes a completed engagement.

Every requirement follows the same structured path. Dr.CHRO manages matching, oversight, and quality throughout.

01

Describe the situation

Create a requirement by describing the HR situation you need help with. You do not need to have the answer — describe the problem clearly.

02

Dr.CHRO reviews

Dr.CHRO reviews your submission and may ask clarifying questions before matching begins. This ensures the right advisor scope is applied.

03

Shortlist presented

Dr.CHRO selects advisors from the panel who are best suited to the requirement. The shortlist is curated, not open to all advisors.

04

You select an advisor

Review the shortlisted advisors and confirm your selection. Once selected, Dr.CHRO coordinates acceptance with the advisor.

05

Engagement begins

With scope, timeline, and expectations confirmed, the engagement starts. Dr.CHRO remains involved for quality and escalation throughout.

Approvals, invoices, and payments

How billing works after an engagement completes.

Invoices are issued after signoff. Payment processing is handled through the platform — you do not need to arrange direct payment to advisors.

Signoff triggers invoicing

Once your team signs off on the delivered work, Dr.CHRO generates and issues the invoice. You will be notified when an invoice is ready.

Who approves

Company admins are responsible for invoice approval and signoff. Ensure the right person has admin access before your first engagement completes.

Payment processing

Payment is processed through the platform. Dr.CHRO does not make guarantees on specific payment timing. Contact support if you have an invoice query.

Support

How to get help when you need it.

Raising a support request

Use the support section of your portal to raise issues, ask questions about a requirement or engagement, or escalate concerns to the Dr.CHRO team.

Legal acknowledgements

Legal acknowledgements for company admins are accepted during invite acceptance. They cover platform use, confidentiality, and authority to bind the company to engagement terms. Contact support if you have questions about your acknowledgement status.
