Sparrow

aid: sparrow
name: Sparrow
description: Sparrow is an end-to-end employee leave management platform for employers in the United States and Canada, pairing
  software with a team of leave specialists to administer FMLA, CFRA, parental, medical and state paid-leave programs. The
  platform automates employee intake, files the associated insurance claims, coordinates with medical providers, delivers
  required notices, builds a personalized leave and financial plan for each employee, and reconciles leave pay back into payroll.
  Sparrow connects to customer HRIS and payroll systems — Workday, BambooHR, Gusto and ADP among them — by file feed rather
  than through a public developer API, and it publishes no developer portal, OpenAPI or SDK. The company was founded in 2018
  in San Francisco by Deborah Hanus and Samarth Keshava, has raised roughly $64M across Series A and Series B rounds, and
  its shares are quoted on secondary marketplaces such as Forge Global.

  detail: 'Sparrow ships leave management only as an end-user web application: its own FAQ answers the integration question
    with "Sparrow can integrate with your HRIS via file feed", there is no developer portal, and the backend its SPA calls
    (api.trysparrow.com, named in the app.trysparrow.com Content-Security-Policy) returns a bare 404 to every anonymous path
    including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ location.'
