HRIS API Updates - August 9, 2026
Highlights
- 🧠 New Managed Skills Catalog API
We've launched a new API to manage a custom skills catalog. You can use the synchronous `POST /hris/skills` endpoint to create and update skills, which are then pushed to the connected HRIS during the next sync. This allows you to manage a centralized skills taxonomy within Kombo. - 🌍 UKG Pro: Support for International Hires
You can now create employees in international locations with UKG Pro. The integration automatically selects the correct 'Global Hire' transaction based on the provided staffing context, enabling you to hire employees outside the US without requiring an SSN. - 💸 Workday: Create Hires with Compensation Plans
The `create-employee` action for Workday now supports adding compensation details during the hiring process. You can include stock plans and one-time payments (like signing bonuses) directly in the hire form, with eligible plans loaded dynamically for selection. - 🎋 BambooHR: Enhanced Create Employee Form
We've improved the `create-employee` form for BambooHR to natively support phone number fields. You can now provide mobile and home phone numbers using unified keys, simplifying the creation of new employees. - 🥩 Cornerstone OnDemand: Richer Employee Data
We've upgraded our Cornerstone OnDemand integration to use a newer endpoint for enriching employee data. This provides more comprehensive data for fields like gender, date of birth, and home address. This requires the `obj_users_core:read` scope to be enabled.
📊 Model & Action Extensions
- Workday: The `create-employee` form fields for compensation are now optional, offering more flexibility. We also added support for UK National Insurance numbers (`GBR-NI`) as an `ssn` type.
