ADP manages HR workflows. Confirm shows who is actually driving results.
ADP gives you payroll, employee records, and HR administration. But when you need better performance decisions, cleaner calibration, and real visibility into hidden contributors, you need more than workflow software.
Where ADP performance management falls short
ADP is built for HR operations at scale. Its performance capabilities help you run process, but they do not provide the behavioral evidence leaders need to make sharper promotion, retention, and calibration decisions.
Forms capture opinions, not actual work
ADP can capture ratings, review text, and workflow steps. It cannot see how influence, collaboration, and decision-making move through your company. That's the layer that explains why some people outperform expectations and others quietly disengage.
No visibility into hidden contributors
When performance data lives inside an HRIS, the loudest self-advocate often looks strongest. ADP does not show who connects teams, mentors others, or unblocks work behind the scenes. Confirm does.
Calibration stays vulnerable to bias
Even a well-run review workflow can still produce subjective decisions. Without behavioral evidence and bias detection, performance conversations depend too much on memory, recency, and manager confidence.
What makes Confirm different
Confirm layers performance intelligence on top of ADP so you can keep your HRIS and improve the quality of every talent decision.
Behavioral insight on top of ADP
Confirm plugs into your ADP employee data and adds the layer ADP cannot: who connects teams, who drives execution, who is starting to disengage, and where manager judgment needs more evidence.
- Find high-performers who do not self-promote
- Spot disengagement before it becomes attrition
- Improve calibration with evidence instead of gut feel
- Coach managers with signals tied to actual work patterns
Integrates with ADP
Sync employee and org data from ADP automatically. Keep your HRIS as the system of record and use Confirm as the intelligence layer for reviews, calibration, promotions, and development decisions.
Continuous signals, not annual snapshots
ADP captures scheduled workflow data. Confirm adds ongoing behavioral signals from how people collaborate every day, so managers can respond earlier and with better context.
Better manager decisions
Confirm turns messy people data into specific coaching recommendations. Managers get clearer guidance on who needs support, who is under-leveled, and who is ready for bigger scope.

Common questions
Can I use Confirm with ADP?
Yes. Confirm syncs employee and org data from ADP so you can keep your HRIS workflows intact and add performance intelligence on top.
Does Confirm replace ADP?
No. ADP is your HRIS or workforce system. Confirm is the performance intelligence layer you add when review forms and ratings are not enough.
How is Confirm different from ADP's performance tools?
ADP helps you run HR workflows. Confirm helps you understand who is influential, who is overlooked, and where performance risk is building — using behavioral evidence, not just manager input.
Why do teams run both together?
Because the combination works: ADP stores and administers employee data, while Confirm improves the quality of review, calibration, promotion, and retention decisions.
Keep ADP. Add the intelligence layer.
Use ADP for HR administration. Use Confirm to understand who is driving results, where risk is building, and how to make performance decisions with more confidence.
