API Development built for HR Tech companies
What is API Development?
We design APIs that third-party developers and internal teams actually enjoy integrating with. For HR Tech companies, this means navigating GDPR, EEOC guidelines (US) while shipping fast.
Who needs API Development for HR Tech?
- Disconnected ATS, payroll and HRIS systems
- Compliance with multi-jurisdiction labor laws
- Low employee adoption of internal HR tools
- Undocumented APIs slowing partner integrations
- No versioning strategy causing breaking changes

Our Approach
The hardest part of HR Tech work is rarely the feature list — it's disconnected ATS, payroll and HRIS systems while staying inside GDPR. We structure sprints and code review around that constraint rather than treating compliance as a final pass.

A typical api development engagement includes restful or graphql api design, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for api development because of undocumented apis slowing partner integrations, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple hr tech projects addressing challenges like disconnected ats, payroll and hris systems. We helped an HR platform reduce time-to-hire by 31% with automated candidate screening workflows.
For hr tech clients, we pay close attention to GDPR, EEOC guidelines (US), building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for hr tech clients include disconnected ats, payroll and hris systems and compliance with multi-jurisdiction labor laws. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
