Integration Essentials for PEOs Building an HR Tech Stack

Consolidated tech stacks are essential to running a compliant, efficient, and scalable PEO operation. One of the most impactful ways to simplify your stack is by integrating your Applicant Tracking System directly into your core HR platform.

Summary

• Disconnected tech stacks create inefficiencies and compliance risks, particularly during the transition from candidate to employee.
• Integrated systems, like an ATS with HCM software, reduces manual entry by 32% and improves data accuracy by 24%.
• HiringThing’s integration with PrismHR automates the data handoff from ATS to it's core platform by using secure APIs and SSO, eliminating manual steps.

Why PEOs Need an Integrated Tech Stack

For PEOs, client satisfaction hinges on operational efficiency and airtight compliance. Yet, scattered software systems create data silos, duplicate entry points, and friction across the employee lifecycle. This is especially problematic during the transition from candidate to employee. A consolidated, integrated tech stack solves this by enabling seamless data flow and reducing risk.

According to research from Forrester, companies that unify their HR systems see a 32% reduction in manual data entry and a 24% improvement in data accuracy. That’s not just efficiency, it’s compliance insurance.

Integrated ATS: The Missing Link

The ATS is often the first point of contact between your client and a new hire. But if your hiring solution isn’t connected to your core platform, you’re asking clients to manually copy data, increasing the chance for errors, delays, or worse—compliance violations.

That’s where embedded integrations come in. By connecting your ATS to your Human Resource Information System (HRIS) or Human Capital Management (HCM) system via APIs and SSO, your clients get a unified experience. Plus, your back-end systems remain accurate and secure.

“When systems talk to each other, you cut out the noise and create an hiring process that’s automated, compliant, and built to scale.” 
 - Joshua Siler, CEO of HiringThing

Marked as Hired: Seamless Data Flow

HiringThing’s integration with PrismHR is a prime example of how this works in practice. Once a candidate is marked as hired in PrismHR Hiring, their data is automatically pushed into PrismHR’s core system without downloads, emails, or human intervention required.

This functionality is powered by secure API endpoints, ensuring encrypted, real-time data transfers, and Single Sign-On (SSO), so clients only need one login across systems. It’s a plug-and-play solution that enhances the hiring experience while delivering enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Efficiency and Compliance, Built-In

The ability to provide a connected, low-friction hiring and onboarding experience is a core differentiator for PEOs. Consolidating your tech stack by starting with an integrated ATS is a smart move and a strategic imperative.

Let your software work as hard as your clients do. The future of compliant, scalable HR services is integrated.
