ADP knows the moment someone is hired, promoted, moved to a new team, or offboarded. Your mentoring software should know it too — automatically, the same day — instead of waiting on a spreadsheet export that’s already out of date.
|
Mentoring software integrates with ADP so employee data flows into the platform automatically, keeping participant records accurate without manual uploads. Qooper connects to ADP Workforce Now via secure API, syncing employee demographics, job details, and status updates on a daily or weekly schedule. New hires are created in Qooper automatically, and terminated or inactive employees are updated automatically. The integration uses ADP Workforce Now’s secure OAuth 2.0 and SSL certificate-based authentication, and setup is a simple credential-and-certificate exchange — no custom code required from your IT team. |
ADP is one of the most widely deployed HR and payroll systems in the world. It pays roughly one in six U.S. workers, serves more than 1.1 million clients, and processes payroll for over 42 million workers across 140+ countries. For a large share of organizations — especially the mid-market-to-enterprise companies that run ADP Workforce Now — ADP is the authoritative record of who works there, in what role, and with what status.
That makes it the natural source of truth for a mentoring program. Without a live connection, HR and L&D teams export employee lists from ADP, clean them up, and upload them to the mentoring tool — then repeat that whenever anything changes. The result is predictable: profiles go stale, matching runs on outdated roles, terminated employees linger in active programs, and reporting stops reflecting reality.
A live ADP integration removes all of it. Employee data flows in on a schedule, new hires appear automatically, departures are handled automatically, and the mentoring platform always reflects the current workforce. Administrators stop maintaining rosters and start running programs.
Qooper connects to ADP Workforce Now through a secure, API-based integration. Here is what that involves in practice.
The connection uses ADP Workforce Now’s secure OAuth 2.0 and SSL certificate-based authentication. Your team generates API credentials and a certificate in ADP and shares them with Qooper; once they’re in place, data protection is handled by ADP’s own authentication standards.
Employee demographics, job details, and status updates sync from ADP Workforce Now to Qooper on a daily or weekly schedule that you choose. There is no manual export, no CSV, and no reconciliation — the mentoring platform stays aligned with ADP as the workforce changes.
Connecting ADP Workforce Now to Qooper is essentially a three-part exchange: set up your API credentials and certificate, share them with Qooper, and employee data begins syncing automatically. Your IT team doesn’t build or maintain a custom integration.
Syncing a roster is the baseline. Where an ADP integration earns its keep is in handling employee-lifecycle events automatically — the changes that otherwise generate the most manual clean-up in a mentoring program.
|
Lifecycle event in ADP |
What Qooper does automatically |
|---|---|
|
New hire added |
The employee is created in Qooper automatically, ready for onboarding or buddy-program matching — no manual entry or import. |
|
Role change or transfer |
Updated job details flow into the participant profile, so matching and reporting reflect the person’s current role. |
|
PIP, FMLA, or leave status |
Qooper removes affected employees from active programs and notifies their mentor or mentee, keeping programs relevant and appropriate. |
|
Termination / inactive |
Zero-touch: the Qooper account updates automatically when the employee is terminated or set inactive in ADP. |
|
Any of the above |
Managers and direct reports are kept in the loop with automated mentorship status updates, improving visibility across teams. |
None of these require an administrator to notice the change first. That’s the difference between a program that scales cleanly across thousands of employees and one that slowly fills with stale records.
Accurate ADP data isn’t just tidy — it’s what makes the rest of the program work. Because Qooper knows each participant’s real role, department, and tenure, mentor matching runs on current organizational reality rather than a self-reported snapshot. And because profiles stay synced in real time, Qooper’s ROI reporting can connect mentoring activity to the outcomes leadership cares about — tracking retention rates and career-movement metrics against actual workforce changes. Mentoring stops being a program you hope is working and becomes one you can measure.
Most enterprise mentoring platforms — Qooper, Chronus, MentorcliQ, and Together among them — list ADP as a supported HRIS. The claim is table stakes; what separates them is how the integration behaves once employee data starts changing. Use this checklist when you compare vendors.

Qooper is enterprise mentoring software built to keep employee data accurate as people join, change roles, and leave — without spreadsheet cleanup. Its ADP Workforce Now integration is a direct expression of that: a secure API connection, OAuth 2.0 and SSL certificate authentication, a daily or weekly sync of demographics, job details, and status, and full lifecycle automation from onboarding through termination.
Beyond ADP, Qooper maintains bi-directional HRIS sync across Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle, ADP, UKG, BambooHR, and Paycor, with SSO/SAML, and encrypted SFTP-based file exchange for teams that prefer it. Qooper is SOC 2 Type I and Type II certified and GDPR compliant — the governance baseline regulated industries require of any system that touches employee data.

Qooper is the right choice for large, complex organizations that need to launch, manage, scale, and measure structured mentoring programs across departments, geographies, business units, and employee populations. It is enterprise mentoring software trusted by 300+ enterprise organizations — including Fortune 500 companies such as Google, VF Corporation, Tommy Bahama, HOK, Matthews International, and Rentokil — with thousands of users across 500+ mentoring programs. |
The payoff of keeping ADP data live shows up in outcomes that leadership can see. In one enterprise program run on Qooper, real-time profile data helped drive 33% career mobility among participants, and the organization scaled from a single program to five — the kind of growth that only holds together when participant data stays accurate as the workforce changes.
Setup is a guided exchange — no custom development. See Qooper’s ADP Workforce Now connection guide for the full walkthrough.
