Employ

Employ, Inc. is the Denver-based parent company of the JazzHR, Lever and Jobvite applicant tracking systems, and of the AI Interview, Screening and Sourcing Companions layered across them. Employ itself runs no developer program: the recruiting APIs its customers integrate against are published under each brand's own domain and are profiled separately in this network. What Employ publishes on employinc.com is a corporate surface that is nonetheless machine-readable — the WordPress REST API behind its site, two self-describing Events Calendar REST contracts, and an anonymous Atlassian Statuspage API on status.employinc.com — plus the legal, security and responsible-AI documents (Security Exhibit, DPAs, SLAs, NYC Local Law 144 bias audit) that govern every brand underneath it.

Employ publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Inc Status API, Components API, Incidents API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Human Resources, Recruiting, Talent Acquisition, Applicant Tracking, and Hiring.

The Employ catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Employ’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, support, and 28 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Employment & Payroll regime (on an ambiguous tag, where no other regime matched), so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Zoom App Marketplace and Partner Ecosystem (builders and partners on Zoom)	builds-on	34.5 (thin)	-	-
HCM and Payroll Marketplaces (ADP, Workday, UKG, Paylocity)	builds-on	34.5 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
