The UKG Pro/UKG Ready integration verifies new hires and rehires with 1Kosmos BlockID Verify and LiveID. It writes assurance status back to UKG custom fields to reduce duplicate identities, fraud, and manual HR effort.

What we solve
UKG customers with frontline, high-churn workforces need a scalable way to verify new hires and reliably confirm rehired workers are the same individuals who were originally I-9 verified—reducing fraud, duplicate identities, and manual HR effort. This integration triggers 1Kosmos BlockID Verify and LiveID from UKG new-hire and rehire webhook events, writes assurance status back to UKG custom fields via the UKG REST API, and enables biometric step-up at rehire to bind identity over time.
Platform identity landscape
UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) serves over 80,000 organizations globally, with particular strength in frontline, hourly, and shift-based workforces. UKG Pro addresses enterprise HCM; UKG Ready targets midmarket. Both platforms expose the UKG Pro Developer Hub REST API with endpoints for Employee (/personnel/v1/employees), Hire (/recruiting/v1/hires), and Custom Fields. UKG Pro integrates with over 350 third-party applications through its UKG Marketplace.
Frontline workforce verification is UKG's most differentiated IDV use case. Warehouse workers, healthcare aides, and retail staff frequently cycle on/off active status, creating persistent rehire verification problems. Without biometric binding, employers cannot confirm a rehired worker is the same person who was originally I-9 verified.
