The payroll ecosystem in the US is highly fragmented, with over 5,700 providers, while the employment ecosystem is becoming increasingly competitive due to specialized applications targeting diverse employer needs. This competitive landscape necessitates improved customer experiences, particularly through enhanced connectivity with critical systems like payroll systems. A new whitepaper titled "The Emergence of the Unified Employment API" explores the evolution of data synchronization methods, from manual entry to unified APIs, with a focus on specialized unified APIs designed for employment. It highlights the importance of these APIs for employer-facing businesses and provides examples of companies like Mosaic, Trainual, and PerkUp that have benefited from using them.
