  2. Retrieve the account's username, password, and unique API key issued for that web service account
  3. Construct the SOAP request for the New Hire (or Employee HR Data) service, passing Basic Authentication credentials plus the API key as required by the service
  4. Submit the SOAP envelope to the appropriate UKG Pro Web Services endpoint for your tenant
  5. Parse the SOAP response/fault for per-field validation errors before treating the hire as committed
