Pushing a hire to BambooHR and other HRIS systems

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Kula can send a hired candidate to BambooHR and a range of other HRIS systems through our Kombo integration. This article covers connecting one and pushing a hire across.

Who can do this: Recruiters and Hiring Managers can push a hired candidate. Super Admin and Admin can connect an HRIS integration.

Where to find it: Candidates → open a candidate's application (once hired) → Current job tab → Add to HRIS. To connect: Settings → Organisation → Integrations

Which HRIS systems are supported

BambooHR, along with providers like HiBob, Workday, Personio, ADP Workforce Now, Deel, and TriNet, connect to Kula through our Kombo integration. Exactly which ones are available to your organisation depends on your Kombo connection — check Settings → Organisation → Integrations for the full list you can connect. Rippling and Darwinbox connect natively instead — see Pushing a hire to Rippling.

Connect an HRIS system

  1. Go to Settings → Organisation → Integrations.

  2. Find your HRIS system and click Connect, then authorise Kula from your HRIS account.

  3. Kula opens a Map fields screen automatically the first time you connect — see Mapping Kula fields to your HRIS.

Push a hired candidate

The candidate must already be marked Hired before you can push them — see Marking a candidate as hired.

  1. Open the candidate's application.

  2. On the Add to HRIS card, click Add to your HRIS system.

  3. Kula opens a form pre-filled from your field mapping — check it over and submit.

Most systems create the employee record straight away; a few, like TriNet, process it in the background, so the card may show as pending for a short while.

Good to know

  • Kombo-connected HRIS systems use the field mapping you set up — see Mapping Kula fields to your HRIS — unlike Rippling, which always sends a fixed set of fields.

  • Pushing a hire is a manual action for every provider; nothing sends automatically when a candidate is marked hired.

  • Some systems, including BambooHR, Workday, and Personio, also support attaching documents to the push alongside the mapped fields.

FAQ

  • Is BambooHR connected the same way as Rippling?

    No — BambooHR connects through our Kombo integration, along with most other HRIS systems, while Rippling (and Darwinbox) connect natively. The main practical difference is that Kombo-connected systems let you customise field mapping; Rippling doesn't. For more, see Mapping Kula fields to your HRIS.

  • Why don't I see my HRIS system in the integrations list?

    The HRIS systems available to connect depend on your organisation's Kombo connection. If yours isn't listed, contact support to check whether it can be added.
