UKG Pro marketplace lists integration partners into categories including recruiting, ERP, compliance filing, learning, payroll, and scheduling. Most connections work through UKG Pro Web Services or newer REST APIs. Many are set up through UKG's own Turnkey Integration Platform.
6 Popular integration categories include:
- Recruiting and Candidate Screening: Skima AI automates recruiting inside UKG Pro by screening every applicant with AI match scores and evidence. Checkr pre-populates background check invitations the moment a candidate reaches that stage.
- Enterprise ERP and Financial Systems: Oracle NetSuite receives employee records, org hierarchy, and General Ledger data automatically. ApexConnect syncs employee profiles into SAP Concur for expense and travel management.
- Compliance Reporting and Filing: Trusaic automates 1094-C and 1095-C ACA filings directly with the IRS and states. Equifax updates The Work Number with payroll data every pay cycle for verifiers.
- Learning and Performance: Udemy Business syncs its full course catalog and learner progress every night. 15Five pulls employee data daily to keep reviews and engagement surveys accurate.
- Payroll: DailyPay gives employees access to earned wages anytime, funded independently of your payroll cycle. Payroll Integrations automates 401(k) contribution data between UKG Pro and retirement providers.
- Timekeeping and Scheduling: UKG Shiftboard handles complex scheduling for manufacturing and energy operations with compliance built in. CloudApper AI adds no-code workflow automation like shift bidding on top of UKG Pro.
Every connection here uses one of three methods. UKG's own web services and REST APIs, no-code automation platforms, or unified API layers built for HR data.
UKG Pro Marketplace lists hundreds of integration partners across recruiting, ERP, compliance, and payroll. Browse the listing and you will find categories built around one shared employee record within UKG Pro.
That list tells you the tool exists but doesn't explain what actually changes once it connects to your UKG Pro system. This guide picks the top 2 tools in 6 popular categories and explains the real mechanics behind each pairing.
You will see what data moves, what event triggers the sync, and setup steps. UKG Pro already handles core HR, payroll, and often scheduling. Every integration here enhances that system rather than replacing it.
Overview: 12 Tools That Integrate with UKG Pro
Recruiting and Candidate Screening
UKG Pro Recruiting already tracks applicants end to end. Still, most teams need extra help to screen, verify, and score them. The two tools below plug into that existing pipeline instead of replacing it.
1. Skima AI
Once integrated with UKG Pro, Skima AI screens, verifies and scores every application and employee profile against the job requirements. It gives a 0 to 100 match score directly onto the candidate record, with evidence-based reasons that explain the fit. Further, its skills detection flags CVs with fake skills, AI-generated content, and keyword stuffing.
That way, the ranked list is built on verified data. A "Skima Screened" tag is also applied automatically, so recruiters can filter a crowded pipeline in seconds.
The integration also opens a shortlist feedback loop inside your existing UKG Pro workflow. A recruiter shares a secure link with no login required. The hiring manager approves, skips, or marks a candidate as "maybe" with an optional note. That feedback writes back into UKG Pro as an activity log for a complete audit trail.
What syncs: Candidate and employee profiles, applications, attachments, and custom fields pulled from UKG Pro; match scores, reason bullets, and tags written back.
How it triggers: A candidate submission, a profile update, a recruitment stage change, or a document upload.
How It Connects
- Generate an API client with OAuth 2.0 credentials and scoped access
- Create custom fields and tags in UKG Pro for AI data
- Configure event webhooks for candidate and employee record changes
- Validate access by syncing sample data and checking scores
- Pilot on select requisitions before a full rollout
2. Checkr
Checkr's integration pulls basic candidate information straight from UKG Pro to pre-populate background check invitations. That removes a manual step recruiters would otherwise handle for every applicant.
Background check packages sync back into UKG Pro in real time. Recruiters see status without leaving their normal workflow. Checkr reports switching customers see turnaround times drop sharply. Average times fall from 10-15 days down to 2-7 days.
What syncs: Basic candidate details pulled from UKG Pro; background check status and package data written back.
How it triggers: A candidate reaching the background check stage in UKG Pro Recruiting.
How It Connects
- Activate Checkr from the UKG Pro marketplace listing
- Authorize the connection with your Checkr account credentials
- Configure which background check packages apply to which roles
- Confirm candidate data flows correctly into check invitations
- Test the full flow before rolling out to all requisitions
Enterprise ERP and Financial Systems
Payroll and HR data both need to reach the general ledger, and manual exports rarely keep up. Both tools below plug UKG Pro directly into the financial side of the business.
3. Oracle NetSuite
UKG's partnership with Oracle NetSuite works through its own Turnkey Integration Platform. That cloud-based setup needs no separate software install. Employee records, organizational hierarchy, and General Ledger data all move from UKG Pro into NetSuite automatically.
Time data flows the same direction, giving NetSuite what it needs for project billing and time reporting. That real-time feed removes the duplicate data entry that usually falls on finance teams.
What syncs: Employee records, org hierarchy, General Ledger entries, and time data moving from UKG Pro into NetSuite.
How it triggers: Each processed payroll cycle and any employee record change in UKG Pro.
How It Connects
- Set up the integration through UKG's Turnkey Integration Platform
- Authorize the connection between UKG Pro and your NetSuite account
- Map employee and GL fields between both systems
- Enable real-time data feeds from UKG Pro's General Ledger
- Test a sample payroll cycle before going live
4. ApexConnect for SAP Concur
ApexConnect's bi-directional integration pulls employee data from UKG Pro to create and maintain user profiles inside SAP Concur. New hires, terminations, and role changes all flow through automatically.
Admins can filter which employees get Concur access and assign approval rights based on role or department. The ApexConnect Integration Portal shows sync history and sends error alerts by email. Issues get caught before they snowball.
What syncs: Employee data, organizational structure, and reimbursement details moving from UKG Pro into SAP Concur.
How it triggers: A scheduled sync, or an on-demand sync triggered by an admin.
How It Connects
- Activate ApexConnect from the UKG Pro marketplace listing
- Authorize the connection with your SAP Concur account
- Configure filters and approval rights for employee access
- Set your sync schedule, scheduled or on-demand
- Review sync history in the ApexConnect Integration Portal
Compliance Reporting and Filing
Tax filing and employment verification both carry real penalty risk if handled manually. Both tools below plug directly into UKG Pro to keep that risk off your HR team's plate.
5. Trusaic
Trusaic's ACA integration automates 1094-C and 1095-C form preparation using data already inside UKG Pro. Forms get filed directly with the IRS and applicable states, including California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and DC.
Trusaic also performs penalty risk assessments before filing, catching data issues before they turn into an IRS letter. Since Trusaic files on your behalf, your organization does not even need its own Transmitter Control Code.
What syncs: Employee eligibility, coverage, and enrollment data pulled from UKG Pro for ACA reporting.
How it triggers: The annual ACA filing season, or a scheduled data pull ahead of deadlines.
How It Connects
- Add the ACA filing integration from your Solutions Exchange
- Authorize Trusaic's access to your UKG Pro ACA data
- Complete a penalty risk assessment before filing season begins
- Review and correct any flagged data issues
- Confirm forms file successfully with the IRS and states
6. Equifax
Equifax's integration sends employee data from UKG Pro into The Work Number every payroll cycle. That keeps salary, income, and work history current for credentialed verifiers handling loan or credit checks.
The service complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Only verifiers who complete a credentialing process can access the data. Employees benefit too, since faster verification means faster approval on loans, credit, or government aid.
What syncs: Salary, income, and work history data moving from UKG Pro into The Work Number every pay cycle.
How it triggers: Each completed payroll cycle in UKG Pro.
How It Connects
- Activate Equifax's Work Number integration from the UKG Pro marketplace
- Authorize the data exchange with your Equifax account
- Confirm which payroll fields feed into the verification database
- Review the Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance requirements
- Validate data updates after your first payroll cycle
Learning and Performance
Course completions and performance reviews both go stale fast. That happens without a live feed of who is actually on staff. Both tools below solve that by syncing straight from UKG Pro.
7. Udemy Business
UKG Pro Learning uses Udemy Business's REST APIs to make nightly calls that import courses and learner activity. The entire Udemy catalog gets centralized inside your UKG Learning Academy automatically.
Admins assign Udemy courses directly through the Academy instead of a separate login. Reporting stays centralized too, so tracking skill development and course consumption happens in one place.
What syncs: Udemy's course catalog and learner progress and completion data moving into UKG Pro Learning.
How it triggers: UKG Pro Learning's nightly scheduled sync with Udemy Business.
How It Connects
- Activate the Udemy Business API and generate API credentials
- Name the integration in Udemy's API and Integrations settings
- Enable external content providers in UKG Learning's Control Panel
- Enter your Udemy API credentials inside UKG Learning
- Confirm the next nightly sync pulls in your course catalog
8. 15Five
15Five's HRIS Connector treats UKG Pro as a source of employee data feeding its performance platform. A daily automatic sync keeps records current, alongside a manual sync option for urgent updates.
Admins control exactly which employees and fields sync, and can map UKG Pro groups to 15Five's own structure. That accuracy matters most during review season, when stale employee data leads to confusing manager assignments.
What syncs: Employee records, group assignments, and the specific fields an admin chooses to sync.
How it triggers: The HRIS Connector's daily automatic sync, or a manual sync triggered by an admin.
How It Connects
- Enable the HRIS Connector inside 15Five's integration settings
- Select UKG Pro from the list of supported HR systems
- Authenticate the connection using your UKG Pro credentials
- Choose which employees, fields, and groups should sync
- Confirm the daily sync schedule, or trigger one manually
Payroll
UKG Pro already handles core payroll. Employees and finance teams still reach for tools that extend what happens around it. Both below plug into that payroll data without disrupting it.
9. DailyPay
DailyPay lets employees access up to 100% of already-earned net pay anytime, for a flat fee. Every transfer is funded by DailyPay directly, so your normal payroll processes never change.
That funding model means no disruption to payroll timing or tax withholding. DailyPay operates independently alongside your existing pay cycle. Implementation typically takes about one week from the point you activate it.
What syncs: Earned wage balances and payroll timing data moving from UKG Pro into DailyPay.
How it triggers: An employee requesting an early transfer of already-earned wages.
How It Connects
- Activate DailyPay from the UKG Pro marketplace listing
- Authorize the connection with your DailyPay account
- Confirm your payroll cycle and funding model with DailyPay
- Roll out employee enrollment through DailyPay's onboarding tools
- Monitor early transfer activity through the DailyPay dashboard
10. Payroll Integrations
Payroll Integrations connects UKG Pro to more than 75 401(k) providers, including Empower, Transamerica, Principal, and John Hancock. Contribution changes and deferral updates move automatically instead of through manual file uploads.
That automation matters because most payroll and benefits data still moves manually today, creating errors and administrative overhead. Employers using the platform report saving 50 to 100 hours a year on this work alone.
What syncs: 401(k) contribution amounts, deferral changes, and employee eligibility data moving between UKG Pro and retirement providers.
How it triggers: A payroll cycle in UKG Pro, or a contribution change submitted by an employee.
How It Connects
- Activate Payroll Integrations from the UKG Pro marketplace
- Confirm your retirement provider is supported on the platform
- Authorize the connection between UKG Pro and Payroll Integrations
- Map contribution and deferral fields to your provider's format
- Validate a test payroll cycle before enabling live syncing
Timekeeping and Scheduling
UKG Pro Workforce Management covers most scheduling needs, but a few industries still need deeper, specialist tools. Both below extend that scheduling layer instead of working around it.
11. UKG Shiftboard
Shiftboard is built for the scheduling demands of manufacturing and energy operations. Union rules and fatigue management both matter there. It pulls employee, time, and time-off data straight from UKG Pro WFM to build schedules.
Approved time-off requests and time punches feed directly into schedule creation, so plans stay compliant from the start. Shiftboard backs this with a compliance guarantee, plus exception management tools for proactive auditing.
What syncs: Employee profiles, time-off approvals, and time punch data pulled from UKG Pro WFM.
How it triggers: A base schedule creation, or an update to time-off or time punch records.
How It Connects
- Activate Shiftboard's integration through your UKG Pro WFM account
- Import group schedules directly from UKG Pro WFM
- Confirm time-off and time punch data syncs correctly
- Configure compliance rules for your industry and workforce
- Test a full schedule cycle before relying on it fully
12. CloudApper AI
CloudApper builds no-code workflow automation directly on top of UKG Pro, without requiring scripting or IT support. Shift bidding is one example. It lets healthcare teams design their own rules for how staff pick up open shifts.
The same no-code layer extends to onboarding, approvals, and compliance workflows. UKG Pro's standard configuration does not fully cover these. HR teams adjust these workflows themselves, without waiting on a developer.
What syncs: Shift, schedule, and workflow data moving between UKG Pro and CloudApper's automation layer.
How it triggers: A defined workflow event, such as an open shift, a time-off request, or an approval step.
How It Connects
- Connect CloudApper AI to your UKG Pro account
- Choose which workflow you want to automate first
- Configure the no-code rules for that workflow
- Test the automation against a sample scenario
- Roll out to your full team once validated
Behind the UKG Pro Connection System
Most tools on this list authenticate through UKG Pro Web Services or newer REST APIs. Both are secured with OAuth 2.0 credentials. That authentication layer is what lets a partner read and write specific UKG Pro data safely.
Partner-built integrations pull data on a scheduled sync, like Udemy's nightly call or 15Five's daily refresh. Others, like Skima AI, react to webhook events the moment a record changes.
3 Ways to Connect
1. API & Webhooks
UKG Pro Web Services and REST APIs authenticate through OAuth 2.0. That gives partner apps scoped access to employee, candidate, and payroll data. Webhook events add real-time triggers on top for tools that need to react the moment something changes.
2. No-Code Automation
UKG's Turnkey Integration Platform handles pre-built connectors like NetSuite without custom development work. Partners like CloudApper AI and Workato extend that further. HR teams build their own automations without writing code.
3. Unified API Platforms
Platforms like Flexspring and Merge sit on top of UKG Pro's API. They extend that same connection across other ERP and HR systems. This matters most for companies connecting UKG Pro alongside several other tools at once.
Final Note
2 tools per category reflect what actually has a documented, working connection. It is not a shortage of listings in UKG Pro's marketplace. The directory includes hundreds of partner apps across recruiting, ERP, compliance, and payroll. Only a fraction syncs on a real trigger with a clear data flow.
If you are building out the Recruiting and Candidate Screening layer, one option stands out. Skima AI's integration with UKG Pro adds explainable match scoring across both external candidates and internal talent. It does this without disrupting how your recruiters already work in UKG Pro.
