Overview
When you move a candidate into the Hired column in Wise Recruiting Assistant (WRA), the new hire information gets sent to your Paychex FLEX account. This allows your new employee to move into onboarding and payroll without you re-entering their information.
One-time setup
From WRA settings, connect the Paychex integration
Click your name in the top right corner - then choose Settings
Click into the Integrations tab
Find the Paychex integration
Confirm or enter your Paychex Display ID
Click Connect your Paychex account
Make sure the WRA integration is activated in your FLEX account to complete the connection
Hiring a candidate
Move your candidate to a hired status the same way you would today
Click into the candidate profile and open the Onboarding tab
Complete any missing information and click Send to Paychex
WRA sends the candidate's information to Paychex Flex as a new worker record
From there, the new hire continues through Flex's own onboarding process
Helpful note: This connection depends on the Add Worker permission being set up on the Paychex Flex side. If a hire doesn't seem to be showing up in Flex, that permission is the first thing to check.
Common Questions
Do I need to manually re-enter a new hire's information in Paychex Flex?
No, hiring a candidate through WRA sends their information into Flex as a new worker.
What if a hire doesn't show up in Flex?
Check that the Add Worker permission is enabled for your account. If it's set up correctly and a hire still isn't showing, contact support.
