Getting Started

Updated August 4, 2026

Welcome to Marmend — your HR and talent management platform. This chapter walks you through creating your company account, logging in, completing the initial setup, and inviting your team.

What You Can Do

  • Register a brand-new company and create your account
  • Log in to an existing company workspace
  • Complete the guided onboarding wizard step by step
  • Invite coworkers and assign them roles

Your Company Workspace

Marmend gives each company its own private workspace, reached through a unique web address based on your company name. For example, a company registered as acme signs in at acme.marmend.com. All of your employees, candidates, and data live inside this workspace and are kept separate from every other company.

Creating Your Company Account

If your company is new to Marmend, you start by registering it.

  1. Go to the registration page (the Register link from the login screen).
  2. Fill in the form:
    • Company website link — Your company's website (for example, https://acme.com). Marmend uses this to suggest a workspace name.
    • Company name — This becomes your workspace address. It is automatically lowercased, and if the name is already taken, Marmend suggests an available alternative. Use letters and underscores (for example, acme_group).
    • First name and Last name — Your own name.
    • Email — Your company email address. This becomes your login.
  3. Tick the box to agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
  4. Click Register now.

After you register, Marmend creates your workspace, sets up your default recruiting pipeline and leave policy, and makes you the first employee with full Owner access. A confirmation email with a magic link is sent to the address you entered — open it to confirm your account and finish signing in.

Logging In

There are two ways to reach your workspace login.

If you already know your workspace address

Go directly to your-company.marmend.com and enter your credentials on the company login screen.

If you only know your company name

  1. Open the Login as a company employee page.
  2. Enter your Company name (for example, acme).
  3. Click Continue.

Marmend looks up your company and forwards you to its login page. If the company name doesn't exist, you'll see an error — double-check the spelling, or ask your HR team for the correct workspace name.

Tip: If you were invited by a coworker, use the invitation link in your email instead. It takes you straight to a page where you set your password and join the workspace.

The Onboarding Wizard

The first time you sign in, Marmend offers a guided onboarding wizard at the **/onboarding** route. It is a friendly checklist of short, interactive guides that walk you through the platform's main areas. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can leave and come back at any time.

Note: The onboarding wizard is designed for wide screens and is best viewed on a display at least 1200 pixels wide.

Onboarding Sections

The wizard is organized into sections. Which sections you see depends on your role, so you only get guidance relevant to what you can do:

  • Key actions — Essential first steps to master the interface (for Owners, Admins, HR, and Support).
  • Recruitment — How to navigate hiring, manage vacancies, and work with candidates (for Owners, Admins, and Recruiters).
  • Manage employees — Tools for handling employee records and HR tasks (for Owners, Admins, and HR).
  • Meet the calendar — How to manage absence requests and track events (for everyone).
  • Manage company — Setting up company equipment and integrations (for Owners and Admins).
  • Your account — Managing your personal settings, securing your profile, and reviewing work details (for everyone).

Each section shows a progress indicator and encouraging messages as you advance. The Things to try panel on the right highlights guides you haven't completed yet. When you finish every guide, the wizard congratulates you and you can always return later for a refresher.

To work through a section, open it from the onboarding page and follow the on-screen prompts. The wizard highlights the relevant part of the interface and steps you through each task. When you complete a guide, it's marked as finished and removed from your "to try" list.

Inviting Coworkers

As an Owner or Admin you can bring your team into the workspace. New people are invited by email and join with the Employee role by default; you grant additional roles afterward.

Sending an Invitation

  1. Open the Employees page (from the main navigation).
  2. Add a new employee and enter their details, including their company email.
  3. Send the invitation. Marmend emails the person an invitation link.
  4. The invitee opens the link, sets a password, and joins your workspace.

Roles and Access

Marmend uses roles to control what each person can see and do. The available roles are:

Role Typical use
Owner Full control of the workspace, including billing. Assigned to the person who registered the company.
Admin Full administrative access to settings, employees, and configuration.
HR Manages employees, leave, and HR processes.
Manager Manages their team and reviews.
Recruiter Works with vacancies and candidates.
Support Helps with day-to-day operations such as equipment.
Employee The default role for everyone — access to their own profile, time off, and dashboard.

Everyone is automatically an Employee; the roles above are added on top of that to grant more access.

Granting Roles

To change someone's roles, go to Admin → Role-based access (/company/admin/role-based-access, available to Owners and Admins). From there you can:

  • See the team and each person's current roles
  • Grant additional roles to an employee
  • Review who has elevated access
