I worked in an organization that uses Salesforce CRM. Recently, we hired new employees for our team, and I was assigned the task of creating a workflow to create multiple employee account records for onboarding new candidates.

I decided to create a Screen flow. With this flow, the hiring team will be able to create employee account records without needing to navigate to the Employee_c tab and enter multiple fields.
