Sparrow
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.
Sparrow is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Leave Management, Human Resources, Payroll, and Compliance.
Sparrow’s developer surface includes engineering blog, FAQ, signup flow, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.
