Ontop’s 6-Minute AI Contract Creation Breakthrough: Redefining HR Productivity

Written by

Ontop Team | Oct 22, 2025

Key Takeaways

In five years, Ontop cut the time to make contracts from 3 hours to 6 minutes. This means a 30 times boost in productivity and saves HR teams up to $5,000 each year. Ontop uses AI tools like the Job Description Creator and Contract Generator. These tools help companies make HR tasks easier and faster. They automate HR workflows for businesses around the world.

What’s Driving Ontop’s Obsession with Simplifying Work

At Ontop, our goal is to keep things simple. Since the start, we have worked to make HR processes easier. This includes hiring, onboarding, payroll, and now, our new AI tool for creating contracts. Our tools for HR automation have developed over time. We want to help teams do their work more efficiently.

“I’ve always been obsessed with one thing: simplifying work for people who build companies,” says Julian Torres Gomez, CEO and Co-Founder of Ontop. “We didn’t plan to reinvent contract creation; it just happened as we kept simplifying.”

This mindset has guided every step of Ontop’s journey toward smarter, faster, and more human-centered automation.

Contract Creation Time

The Challenge: Why Contract Creation Used to Take 3 Hours

Before automation, HR managers spent hours manually creating employment contracts, copying templates, adjusting legal terms, checking compliance, and managing signatures. Each contract could take up to three hours, often involving multiple reviews, version control issues, and unnecessary administrative work.

That inefficiency led to:

  • Delays in onboarding and hiring
  • Higher operational costs
  • Lost time that could have been spent developing people and culture

Ontop’s Mission: Simplicity Through Smart Automation

Ontop’s philosophy is clear: automation should simplify, not complicate. Ontop created easy-to-use AI for HR tech solutions. This helps boost productivity without the need for extra training or complicated setup. Every feature, like making job descriptions and generating contracts, is made to reduce repetitive tasks. This allows HR teams to spend more time on their employees.

The Journey: From 3 Hours to 6 Minutes

When Ontop launched in August 2020, creating an employment contract took about three hours.
By the end of that year, the first version of the platform reduced it to 30 minutes.
By 2024, it dropped to 10 minutes.
Today, thanks to AI contract creation and automated HR workflows, the process takes only six minutes.

This represents a 30x improvement in efficiency and a complete transformation from manual paperwork to intelligent automation.

The Impact: Real Savings for HR Teams

Each contract created by Ontop saves about $40 in costs. This means an HR manager can save around $5,000 each year if they handle ten contracts each month.

However, the true value goes beyond financial savings. It’s about time.

  • Time to recruit smarter.
  • Time to onboard faster.
  • Time to build stronger teams and better culture.

Every minute saved through contract generation software is a minute HR teams can invest in people, strategy, and growth.

The Bigger Picture: The Rise of AI in HR Tech

AI in HR tech is not a trend; it is a global shift. More than 70% of companies in North America, 59% in Europe, and 68% in Asia-Pacific are using AI in human resources. Global adoption is expected to reach 80% by the end of 2025.

AI-driven HR automation tools reduce time-to-hire by around 30%, speed up onboarding for more than half of organizations, and save HR professionals over 10 hours a week. Ontop’s 6-minute AI contract creation process surpasses these benchmarks, setting a new global standard for efficiency and simplicity.

The Market Opportunity: The Rise of HR Automation

The HR software market is expected to reach $30.86 billion in 2025 and grow to $89.12 billion by 2035. The payroll software market is also expanding, from $35.26 billion in 2024 to $57.79 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 10%.

This growth makes one thing clear: automation is no longer optional, it is essential.

Why Most Companies Struggle with AI Adoption and How Ontop Got It Right

Despite widespread interest, only 1% of organizations say their AI HR systems are fully mature. The most common challenges include:

  • Slow adoption and learning curves
  • Unclear return on investment
  • Tools that add complexity instead of removing it

Ontop took a different approach. By designing AI-powered HR automation tools that simplify processes instead of complicating them, Ontop delivered immediate and measurable value. No extra training, no steep learning curve, just faster and smarter work from the start.

Practical Takeaways for HR Leaders

If you want your HR team to achieve similar results, start with these steps:

  1. Review your current contract creation process and identify bottlenecks.
  2. Measure your average time per contract and set improvement goals.
  3. Choose HR automation tools that reduce friction instead of creating it.
  4. Prioritize AI in HR tech that integrates smoothly with your existing workflows.
  5. Evaluate ROI based on both time and cost savings.

Selecting the right contract generation software is not about replacing people. It’s about enabling them to focus on meaningful, high-value work.

Conclusion: Time Saved is Opportunity Gained

Think about what your HR team could achieve with three additional hours every day.

  • More time to innovate.
  • More time to hire top talent.
  • More time to lead and grow.
