How teams actually use Kini with Cooper.
From multi-client agencies to in-house recruiting teams: Kini fits the way you work with Cooper. Four scenarios where the managed integration makes the biggest difference.
Your customer connects Cooper themselves, in one click
You generate a Magic Link and send it to your end customer. They enter their Cooper API key themselves, issued in their own Cooper settings. You never touch access data, your team never touches applicant data.
Fields map themselves, the rest with one click
Cooper's job fields are auto-detected and pre-mapped, including contract type, department and location filters. You fix any mismatches from a dropdown. No code, no engineer, no development ticket.
One Cooper account, 1,500+ job boards
Once connected, you choose from 1,500+ job boards, including Stepstone and Indeed, to promote Cooper job listings, and applications come back the same way. One connected account, no second integration project.
Every field. Every entity.Exactly where it belongs.
Kini reads job listings from Cooper through CooperHire's documented jobs endpoint, with pagination and contract type, department and location filters, and distributes them into your connected channels.
Jobs
Operations like GET, POST, PATCH are documented per endpoint in the . The primary source for field definitions. Kini adds mapping and fallback logic on top.
From Cooper API key to production go-live.
Kini connects to Cooper via Magic Link and an API key. Fields are mapped automatically, the connection is tested and your integration is live.
Step 1Connect
Your customer receives a Magic Link from Kini and enters their Cooper API key themselves, issued in their own Cooper settings. You never see or store the key.
Step 2Map
Kini auto-detects and pre-maps Cooper's job fields, including contract type, department and location filters. No manual configuration needed.
Step 3Test
A test job runs automatically through the full flow. Kini checks field mapping and sync behaviour before anything goes live.
Step 4Go-live!
Job listings flow through Kini into your connected recruiting channels, with Cooper staying the system of record. Kini operates and monitors the connection.

What makes Kini different for Cooper customers.
Other tools connect. Kini manages. In practice that covers GDPR, field mapping, job board compatibility and everything that breaks when nobody is watching.
End-to-end GDPR consent
Every application that flows through Kini carries a consent flag, mirrored on the target system's side and traceable in audits.
Native-language custom fields
Locations, departments and sources are mapped correctly even when they use German naming conventions or regional variants, whether your customers sit in DACH or operate internationally.
Application flows for a wide range of job boards
Stepstone, Indeed, Jobrapido and regional boards each have their own required fields, screening patterns and encoding rules. Kini's mapping engine is trained for those: out of the box, not as a custom project.
Operated by the Kini team
Kini runs the connection for you, including monitoring and alerts. If a vendor changes an API or a mapping breaks, our team fixes it before it reaches your funnel. Operated from Germany.
Frequently asked questions about the Cooper integration.
Everything about how Kini connects to Cooper. From setup and data sync to job distribution.
Kini reads job listings from your customer's Cooper account and distributes them into your connected channels. Applications from those channels are delivered back into Cooper.
Yes. Separate from the API, CooperHire provides an embeddable Jobs Widget as a script snippet, with documented setup guides for WordPress and React or Next.js career pages.
No. Cooper stays your system of record. Kini is the connectivity layer around it: job listings are read from Cooper and distributed into your connected recruiting channels, and applications come back into Cooper, so you extend what Cooper already does without replacing it.
No. The Cooper integration is pre-built, so there is no development project on your side. You send your customer a Magic Link, they enter their own Cooper API key, and Kini handles mapping, operation and monitoring as a managed service.
