Justworks handles compliance. Confirm handles your most critical asset: people performance.
Justworks makes payroll, benefits, and PEO compliance easy for startups and growing companies. Performance management isn't what Justworks is built for — and most Justworks customers know it. Confirm fills that gap with purpose-built performance intelligence.
Justworks wasn't built for performance management
Justworks is a PEO platform. It's designed to simplify payroll, benefits, and employment compliance for startups and SMBs. Performance management is outside its core design — and Justworks customers typically know they need something else for this.
PEO focus means performance is an afterthought
Justworks does payroll, benefits, and compliance brilliantly. Performance reviews, flight risk detection, organizational network analysis — these require a different platform entirely. Justworks customers who try to manage performance in spreadsheets or basic forms quickly hit a wall.
Startup pace means performance issues compound fast
Startups on Justworks are growing fast. One flight-risk engineer or key account manager leaving can set back quarters of work. Without behavioral signals and early warning, you find out about performance issues after the damage is done.
Founders and small HR teams need more capacity
On a small HR team, you can't manually track every person's performance trajectory. Confirm gives you the data layer that scales — behavioral signals, AI coaching, and flight risk alerts — without needing a full HR team to operate it.
What Confirm adds to Justworks
Confirm is the performance intelligence platform that completes the Justworks stack. Together, you get operational HR and talent intelligence — the full picture.
Purpose-built performance intelligence for growing companies
Justworks keeps your HR operations clean. Confirm keeps your talent strategy sharp. Organizational Network Analysis, flight risk prediction, and AI-powered manager coaching — all integrated with your Justworks employee data.
- Predict flight risk 3 months before a resignation
- Surface hidden high-performers before competitors find them
- Give managers real, data-backed coaching on each team member
- Run fast, high-completion review cycles from day one
Integrates with Justworks
Confirm pulls employee and org data from Justworks automatically. Keep Justworks for payroll, benefits, and PEO compliance. Confirm handles the performance layer on top.
Built for startup speed
Confirm is designed to be lightweight and fast — not a 6-month implementation project. Most companies run their first performance cycle within 5 weeks. 98% completion rate typical.
AI coaching that scales with your team
Whether you have 3 managers or 30, Confirm gives each one person-specific coaching backed by behavioral signals. No extra HR headcount needed to get real insight.
