How teams actually use Kini with Teamtailor.
From multi-client agencies to in-house recruiting teams: Kini fits the way you work with Teamtailor. Five scenarios where the managed integration makes the biggest difference.
Your customer connects Teamtailor themselves
You generate a Magic Link and send it to your end customer. They connect their Teamtailor account with their own API key. You never touch access data, your team never touches applicant data.
Fields map themselves
Teamtailor's fields are auto-detected and mapped in the background. No code, no engineer, no development ticket.
You never touch applicant data
Applications land directly in your customer's Teamtailor account, with contact details, consent, resume and custom field values in place. Your team never has to download, forward or re-enter applicant data.
One Teamtailor account, 1,500+ job boards
Once connected, you choose from 1,500+ job boards, including Stepstone and Indeed, to promote Teamtailor jobs, and applications come back the same way. One connected account, no second integration project.
Every field. Every entity.Exactly where it belongs.
Kini syncs jobs, candidates and job applications between Teamtailor and your connected channels via Teamtailor's JSON:API. No intermediate storage, no manual exports, no data sitting in between.
Jobs
Candidates
Job Applications
Teamtailor's JSON:API also exposes departments, locations and custom fields, which Kini reads for filtering jobs and writes as part of candidate records.
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 Teamtailor API key to production go-live.
Kini connects to Teamtailor via Magic Link and the customer's own 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 connects their Teamtailor account with their own API key. You never see or store the key.
Step 2Map
Kini auto-detects and pre-maps Teamtailor's fields, departments, locations and custom fields between Teamtailor and your connected channels. No manual configuration needed.
Step 3Test
A test job and a test candidate run automatically through the full flow. Kini checks field mapping and sync behaviour before anything goes live.
Step 4Go-live!
Applications flow through Kini directly into the customer's Teamtailor account, which stays the system of record. Kini operates and monitors the connection.

What makes Kini different for Teamtailor 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 Teamtailor integration.
Everything about how Kini connects to Teamtailor. From setup and authentication to data sync and GDPR compliance.
Kini syncs jobs, candidates and job applications with Teamtailor, based on Teamtailor's public JSON:API. Jobs carry title, status, locations and departments, and candidate records include contact details, consent, resume and custom field values, so records arrive complete.
Teamtailor's API enforces a rate limit on requests. Kini's integration is built to operate within this limit automatically, so syncs pace themselves without dropping records.
No. Teamtailor stays your system of record. Kini is the connectivity layer around it: jobs, candidates and applications are synced between Teamtailor and your connected recruiting channels, so you extend what Teamtailor already does without replacing it.
No. The Teamtailor integration is pre-built, so there is no development project on your side. You send your customer a Magic Link, they connect their own Teamtailor account with their API key, and Kini handles mapping, operation and monitoring as a managed service.
It is built for GDPR-compliant use. Data that passes between Teamtailor and your connected channels is processed by Kini in Frankfurt, Germany, under a data processing agreement (DPA). Kini deletes or anonymizes personal applicant data 180 days after an application is created.
