Challenge
Slingshot AI, based in New York, is a pioneer in mental health AI research. Rapid growth required them to expand their workforce across the U.S. and internationally. Managing employee benefits and multi-jurisdiction compliance became increasingly complex and costly with traditional providers.
Traditional benefits providers were costly and inflexible, straining the company's budget without meeting employee needs. Hiring and managing distributed talent across US states and internationally was challenging due to varying labour laws and compliance requirements. The team was spending hours of unnecessary work manually processing complex payroll needs spanning many worker types and jurisdictions.
