Workstream to Paycor Integration: How to Connect Them

With data integration, new hires move from Workstream into Paycor automatically as soon as the recruiter moves a candidate to hired status, carrying the essential information needed to process payroll. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. The connector comes in a turnkey edition built on standard fields and a custom edition when your business needs more. The turnkey edition lands new hires in Paycor Onboarding, and a different landing spot in Paycor comes with the custom edition. The connection runs over a near real-time API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer.

With data integration, new hires sync from Workstream into Paycor in real time, including the essential information needed to process payroll. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks, and assessments.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of new hires from Workstream to Paycor goes live in 6-8 weeks, depending on complexity, and a turnkey integration in 1-2 weeks. The turnkey edition lands new hires in Paycor Onboarding, and a different landing spot in Paycor comes with the custom edition. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

With data integration, when a recruiter moves a candidate to hired status in Workstream, the new employee’s information appears in Paycor automatically—nobody retypes it. Your team gets fewer payroll corrections, faster onboarding, and an end to double-data entry between hiring and payroll.

The best way to connect Workstream to Paycor depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s—built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
