Xemplo was built to solve one of workforce management’s most persistent problems: to bridge the gap between legislation, compliance, HR, and payroll processes.

Historically, these departments have operated in silos. Compliance was difficult to maintain and worker lifecycle management was unnecessarily complex. But even as Xemplo unified those workflows, a broader disconnection remained: the tools that recruitment agencies relied on most were still beyond Xemplo’s reach.

For most agencies, the recruitment process starts in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) like Bullhorn for Salesforce. Xemplo handles everything else that follows: onboarding, contracts, timesheets, payroll, and compliance. Unfortunately, Xemplo had no real way to connect these two critical processes.

This resulted in a process that required frequent manual data re-entry, where even the smallest error could lead to legal consequences. Wrong employment types, mismatched field values, missed assignment; each handoff became a compliance liability.

A native integration might have seemed like the straightforward fix. But, with highly configurable tools like Bullhorn for Salesforce, Xemplo ran the risk of building a rigid, point-to-point integration that locked them into a specific configuration and would also break with customer customizations. This would also require significant ongoing engineering investment as both platforms evolved.

Xemplo needed a scalable solution that could evolve with their platform, partners, and, most importantly, their customers’ tech stacks. That’s what led the team to build with Workato Embedded; the leading embedded integration platform for SaaS leaders.

Where a native integration would have been a brittle one-size-fits-all connector, Workato’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface enabled Xemplo to build a dynamic data field integration to Bullhorn for Salesforce. Data is read at runtime and mapped into Xemplo’s data model, adapting to each customer’s specific configuration without any custom code per deployment.

The Bullhorn for Salesforce integration built on Workato Embedded completely transformed Xemplo’s platform. From two disjointed systems that required an error-prone manual data entry process, Xemplo converted their platform into a seamless, scalable integrated solution that bridged data silos, accelerated timelines, eliminated previous compliance risks, and gave recruiters confidence that Xemplo matched their ATS data.

For agencies operating on tight margins with large contract workforces, compressing the worker lifecycle was invaluable. Beyond the immediate efficiency gains, integrations are now a strategic advantage for Xemplo. Connectors no longer take months of custom engineering, they are a product capability that Xemplo can extend to any new ATS, payroll platform, or back-office system customers request.
