Candidate sourcing and ATS sync
Pull candidate profiles, post to job boards, and keep ATS records in sync across every system.
AI agents for HR, with a browser they can use
HR runs on systems that were never built for agents. Browserbase gives your agents real cloud browsers that log into ATSs, HRIS platforms, payroll providers, and benefits portals to complete workflows end to end, under one API key. SOC-2 Type II certified, on infrastructure running 35m+ sessions a month.
The Problem
HR AI agents have a reasoning problem solved, and an execution problem wide open
- Applicant tracking systems with limited APIs, gated integrations, and seat-based pricing that punishes automation.
- HRIS and payroll platforms that require logins, MFA, and human-style navigation to complete routine tasks.
- Benefits portals, background check providers, and verification services that only speak through a browser.
- Brittle RPA scripts that break the moment a vendor changes a button or adds a captcha.
- Internal browser infrastructure that becomes its own team to maintain at scale.
The Solution
Browserbase is the browser execution layer for HR agents
- Real cloud browsers: your agent logs into ATSs, HRIS, payroll, and benefits portals exactly like a human operator.
- Persistent authentication: cloud-stored sessions stay logged in across runs, no repeated MFA or credential re-entry.
- Document upload and download: attach offer letters, pull pay stubs, route I-9s and W-2s back to your stack.
- Built for orchestration: drop Browserbase under any agent framework, Stagehand®, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, ServiceNow, UiPath, or your own.
- SOC-2 Type II: enterprise-grade controls with isolated sessions, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit-ready logs.
What your HR agents can do
Onboarding and offboarding
Create accounts, file I-9s, request background checks, and provision access across every vendor portal.
Payroll and benefits
Run payroll cycles, enroll employees in benefits, and reconcile vendor data without portal hopping.
Compliance and verification
Verify employment eligibility, license status, and certifications across state boards and registries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Browserbase's role in an HR AI agent stack?
Browserbase is the browser execution layer. Your agent framework handles reasoning and orchestration, and Browserbase provides the cloud browsers the agent uses to interact with ATSs, HRIS platforms, payroll providers, benefits portals, and any other HR system that lives behind a login. Agents log in, click, type, upload, and download exactly like a human operator would.
Is Browserbase secure enough for employee data?
Yes. Browserbase is SOC-2 Type II certified. Browser sessions run in isolated environments with encryption at rest and in transit, and full audit logs of every action. Customer-managed credentials can be scoped per session, and sensitive HR workflows can be paired with human-in-the-loop approvals for high-stakes steps.
Why use browser automation instead of an HRIS API integration?
Most HR workflows still touch systems that have no public API, limited API coverage, or expensive integration tiers: benefits providers, state agencies, background check vendors, and legacy ATSs. Browserbase fills that gap. It runs alongside your existing API integrations, handling the steps where the only interface is a browser.
Can my HR agent handle MFA on payroll and benefits portals?
Yes. Persistent cloud sessions retain cookies and session state across runs, so MFA prompts are handled once and remembered. For portals that require MFA on every login, Browserbase supports human-in-the-loop workflows where a team member can approve the MFA step before the agent continues.
How does Browserbase compare to traditional HR RPA tools?
Traditional RPA tools rely on brittle screen coordinates and break when vendors update their interfaces. Browserbase runs real Chromium browsers with Verified access and AI-powered selectors that adapt when sites change. It also pairs naturally with LLM-based agents, so the agent can reason about what to do next, not just replay a recorded script.
Can a single agent run against many HR systems in parallel?
Yes. Browserbase supports parallel browser sessions, so a single agent or fleet of agents can run onboarding, eligibility verification, or payroll workflows across many portals at the same time. Each session is fully isolated.
