Kombo

We've been named the 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮! The G2 summer awards are out, and we won in nine categories, including: 🏅 Global leader  🏅 Highest global momentum  🏅 Best results, relationship, and usability 🏅 Most implementable and highest user adoption Generic integration platforms stretch themselves thin across categories. We chose the opposite and went all-in on people data, from hire to retire. Very proud to see this reflected in the feedback received by our customers. A massive thank you for your reviews and for pushing us every day!

"Everyone in the BD team is a genius" is the best thing I recently heard about our team from a new-joiner. I've heard several versions of this over the past years. I'm biased, but 100% agree. We've just opened a Berlin-based role (and continue to grow the NYC team) and I'd love to talk to you if you think you fit the team ethos. We have: * ex-founders Chris Corrigan & future-founders * ex-startup/VC operators who know the space inside out Moritz von Pander * ex-professional athletes Maria Idjilov * applied maths Ivy League grads Samantha Swerdlin Katz * ex-MBB consultants Ryan Wong * & more Add - * nine different nationalities among nine people * a role that fosters growth and learning like nothing else - learning how to sell well is transferable to anything you may want to do later in life * a fast-growing company (we went from 0-$10M+ ARR in three years and continue on the same slope) - and you have the winning formula for an excellent team that wins together. We have a few more roles open this year. If you care about a truly exceptional and diverse environment + fast career growth, it's the best time to join.

It is time for SHRM Annual in Orlando! You can find the Kombo team at the expo reception tonight, and Wednesday + Thursday roaming the expo floor taking meetings. We’re not sponsoring, we are showing up for the builders. Because every HR tech demo eventually hits the same question: “Cool… will it integrate with our HRIS/ATS/payroll?” Kombo is the integration infrastructure layer for people-data products: connect once via a unified API, and stop letting integrations be the thing that slows down shipping, selling, and onboarding. If you’re at SHRM and building in the HR ecosystem, come find James McMullan, Maria Idjilov, Jonathan Seifert, and Michael Fibich and see how Kombo turns integrations from a blocker into a growth lever. #SHRM26 #HRTech #PeopleData #Integrations

We’re launching browser agent integrations - a new product category at Kombo 🚀 We kept hearing about use cases APIs cannot solve. Systems don't expose the fields you need. Access is gated behind lengthy security reviews. And there's a long tail of legacy systems without (production-grade) APIs. We've spent the last 12 months solving this by building a browser agent integration for workforce tech. It 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗨𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗼𝗿��𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 with 𝗔𝗣𝗜-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. The first use case we've shipped on this layer is 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 - read jobs and submit applications across any ATS, without an integration. Fully deterministic, debuggable, and compliant. Every run produces the same output. Every action is traceable. It’s already used by Recruitics, Bandana, CV-Library, Placed, and College Recruiter job search site. Across hundreds of thousands of applications, they report: ✅ 3–5× more completed applications ✅ Near-100% attribution ✅ 99.9% delivery success rate ✅ Under 2 hours to onboard a new ATS Huge shoutout to Cornelius Renken, Stephan Schett, Oles Maiboroda, and John Kaller for building this!

Big news, as we're walking the floors of Transform: Kombo is now an official Workday Partner! This is a major step forward in our mission to power people data from hire to retire through better connectivity. As the workforce software landscape becomes more complex, software vendors and platforms need a faster, more reliable way to integrate with systems like Workday. That is exactly where Kombo comes in. Kombo gives software companies the infrastructure to build and maintain high quality integrations with the speed, reliability, and flexibility enterprise customers expect. Since founding Kombo in 2022, we have grown quickly and now support more than 300 companies, including Indeed, Paychex, Thatch, Hirevue, Mercor, Juicebox, Edenred, and more. By partnering with Workday, we are helping expand trusted connectivity across the ecosystem with: • Faster integration delivery • Reliable infrastructure for ongoing maintenance and scale • Enterprise-grade flexibility for security, compliance, and complex customer requirements Proud to partner with Workday and excited for what this unlocks for customers, partners, and the broader future-of-work ecosystem.

Getting ready for the biannual pilgrimage to Vegas next week for Transform. A year of big moves (and more $ in the bank) to double down on our commitment to the space – trusted, unified people data integrations, from hire to retire (ATS · HRIS · LMS · Payroll). Excited to reconnect with everyone! 😊 Meet the Kombo team there Alexander Kuebel Max Schulz James McMullan Davey Wölcken Jonathan Seifert Maria Idjilov Marvin G.

We’ve officially launched our unified LMS API at Kombo 🚀 If you're a content provider or talent management platform, you know this pain: enterprise customers expect your content and/or course progressions inside their LMS. Without an integration, you often won't be considered in deals. But supporting all your customers’ LMS means a lot of opportunity costs for your core product roadmap. You’ll have to deal with different APIs, authentication flows, and data models. And the more customers you onboard, the faster your integration maintenance compounds. Our LMS API changes that. It allows you to build once and connect to every major LMS. Here’s how it works: ➡️ 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Reading users, syncing courses, and writing back completions works the same whether you're connected to Workday, SAP SF, or Cornerstone. Same endpoints, same fields, same format. ➡️ 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Upsert your course catalog in bulk, read enrollments, track progress, and write back completions through a single API. No more having to handle SCORM. ➡️ 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 𝗮��� 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Map custom fields to your schema, access raw data from the source system, or call the underlying API directly with passthrough for edge cases. ➡️ 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: See sync status, authentication issues, and errors across every customer connection from one dashboard. Set up webhooks to get notified before small issues become support tickets. We've already shipped integrations for Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone OnDemand, LinkedIn Learning, Udemy Business, Docebo, 360Learning, and many more are coming soon 🚢 Shoutout to Marvin, Alexander, Antoni, Davey and Natalia for leading this from zero to launch!

What are three bets every product and engineering leader in HR tech should make in the age of AI and consolidation? Join David Clarke (former CTO at Workday), Thomas Otter (GP at Acadian Ventures), and Alexander Kuebel for a 45-minute webinar discussing this. The workforce industry is going through a generational shift. AI is accelerating change, rewriting what’s possible and which work can or should be performed by software, and M&A is reshuffling the competitive landscape every other month. So we're bringing in two people who've seen this before and from the inside. We’ll cover: - Where to place your architectural bets as the ecosystem keeps consolidating - Why your AI roadmap might be blocked by your infrastructure - A small discussion on the rise of citizen development and vibe coding in HR No sales pitch or hidden agenda. Just 30 minutes of genuine conversation, followed by a 15 minute Q&A. 📆 Registration link in the comments

We’re excited to share that Volition Capital has led a $25M Series A in Kombo, the infrastructure platform tackling one of the biggest challenges in the workforce & #HRTech ecosystem: interoperability. As companies layer in more HR, payroll, recruiting, and IT systems, people data gets fragmented fast. Kombo makes that data move seamlessly and securely across systems — from hire to retire — so the ecosystem can actually work as one. We’re thrilled to partner with CEO & Co-Founder Alexander Kuebel and the Kombo team as they scale globally and build critical infrastructure for the AI-powered future of work. Welcome to the Volition family, Kombo! For full details on the funding announcements and Alex's thoughts, read more here: https://lnkd.in/ehivKk_E

Kombo raised a $25 million Series A to build the infrastructure layer for people data! 🎉 The round brings our total funding to $30 million and was led by Volition Capital, with participation from our existing investors Acadian Ventures, Y Combinator, and 468 Capital. We're thrilled to welcome Volition Capital co-founder, Sean Cantwell, to our board. Fifty years of digitizing work created a massive workforce ecosystem, but also the industry’s defining problem: people data became siloed, brittle, and expensive to move. AI is accelerating this. New products and agents are emerging fast - from incumbents and challengers alike - and every one of them needs reliable access to people data to deliver value. We believe this demands a trusted infrastructure layer. One that sits at the center of the ecosystem and ensures people data flows reliably between systems, tools, and teams - from hire to retire. That's what we're building. Today, 400+ companies rely on Kombo for exactly this. The new funding will accelerate our ambitions to become the backbone of the workforce industry. We'll go deeper across Talent Acquisition, HR, Payroll and IT systems, scale our team across New York 🇺🇸 and Berlin 🇩🇪 , keep investing in enterprise-grade reliability and security, and set the standard for agent‑ready people data. Work and the technology around it will keep changing. But the need for connectivity will only grow. We're here to build the infrastructure that makes the workforce ecosystem work as one. Read more about our vision and what's next in our blog post (linked in the comments). Thank you to every customer, partner, and investor who helped us get here. We're just getting started ��
