Why it breaks

For ATS providers, agencies and job boards, building integrations was never the hard part of the job. Operating them every day is where things break, and exactly where Kini comes in.

Every system speaks its own language.
One ATS has a modern API, the next only exports XML, a niche job board sends applications by email. A unified API only covers the ones that speak REST.
Kini Core
Kini Core connects 65+ ATS and the job boards behind them through one managed layer. You connect once. We run what sits behind it.
See Kini Core
Integrations break quietly.
A field gets renamed or a token expires, and applications stop arriving. Nobody notices until a customer opens their account to zero jobs.
Operating layer
The operating layer is the work after go-live: watching the data, recovering from failures, telling you what happened. It runs under every Kini Core integration.
See Operating layer
Recruiting data is messy.
Custom fields, free-text locations and broken markup from every source. Somebody has to clean it up.
Data processing
Kini maps, cleans and checks each record in the background. Your team does not configure fields, and nobody cleans up after the sync.
See Data processing
Every new integration hits your roadmap.
Your customers keep asking for integrations you don't have yet. Each one needs engineers most teams can't spare, and every later change costs time again.
Multi-customer workspace
Create customers, store credentials securely and manage each integration under one operator account. No customer-side engineering required.
See Multi-customer workspace
Job boards are moving to performance pricing.
Postings that ran for 30 days give way to cost per click and cost per application. That only works when applications flow back into the ATS reliably.
Kini Shop
Kini Shop turns a fragmented board landscape into one channel, without negotiating a contract board by board. It builds on Kini Core and can run on its own.

Definition

What is managed recruiting connectivity?

Managed recruiting connectivity is an integration layer between ATS systems, recruiting agencies, and job boards. Unlike a unified API, it does not require the source system to speak REST: Kini adapts to whatever each system offers, while the partner keeps a single connection. It includes monitoring, recovery, and per-record sync status.

In practice: a Kini integration is shipped, monitored, and recovered by the same platform that built it. The integration is not a project. It's a running service with an owner.

Product overview

One system, two building blocks.Kini Core connects. Kini Shop distributes.

Kini Shop builds on Kini Core, and both run on the same operating layer. Use them together or either on its own.

Kini Core

One layer between ATS, agencies and job boards.

Kini Core connects 65+ ATS and the job boards behind them through one managed layer. You connect once. We run what sits behind it.

Kini Core

Your side stays one connection. Ours adapts to whatever a system can do.

A unified API only works if the other system speaks REST. Kini Core doesn't need it to. We adapt to whatever each system can do, and you keep a single connection on your side.

Source systems · our job

However a system can be reached. The list stays open.

API

Documented APIs, where a system offers them.

Feeds

Structured XML or JSON feeds. XML is how Personio exchanges jobs, for example.

Email parsing

Applications arrive at dedicated inboxes, sorted by job board, and Kini turns them into structured records.

Crawler

Where there is no API or feed, Kini crawls the published jobs from the career page.

Custom

Mappings and field transformations for systems that don't fit a standard.

Kini AI

When a system offers no interface at all, Kini AI does the adapting.

Next path
New systems get a new path, not a new project for you.
Kini

API

One REST integration. Jobs out, applications in.

Feed

Webhooks

Add webhooks to get events pushed to your endpoint: job updates, application sync status and booking status.

Operating layer

Integrations break quietly. The operating layer keeps them running.

The operating layer is the work after go-live: watching the data, recovering from failures, telling you what happened. It runs under every Kini Core integration.

Data processing

Recruiting data is messy. It reaches the ATS clean.

Kini maps, cleans and checks each record in the background. Your team does not configure fields, and nobody cleans up after the sync.

Field mapping with fallback

Kini maps custom fields, translates values like employment types, normalizes locations and sources, and carries screening questions across. Nothing is silently dropped.

Clean HTML, normalized data

Job descriptions get sanitized HTML. Candidate data gets normalized. The ATS receives data it can actually use, not markup debris.

Duplicates handled

When the ATS already knows the candidate, Kini marks the application as an expected failure, not a broken sync. Nobody on your side has to chase it.

For agencies, job boards and ATS providers

Create customers, store credentials securely and manage each integration under one operator account. No customer-side engineering required.

Under your brand, not ours

The workspace and the shop run white-label: your own custom domain, your own branding. Your customers see your product. Kini is the layer underneath.

For end customers

Secure onboarding via Magic Link: customers pick their system and enter credentials. No shared spreadsheets, and if a customer would rather be walked through it, someone will.

You decide who talks to the end customer

Kini can stay entirely in the background, or step forward and handle onboarding and support conversations directly with your customer. Your call, per partner.

Kini Shop

Reach for your job ads. Choose from 1,500+ job boards.

Kini Shop turns a fragmented board landscape into one channel, without negotiating a contract board by board. It builds on Kini Core and can run on its own.

ATS job import

Jobs come straight out of the connected ATS. No re-entering, no second job list.

Public and classifieds channels

Publish to the Bundesagentur für Arbeit and to Kleinanzeigen alongside the classic job boards.

Your existing contracts

If your customer already has contracts with boards, Kini publishes through them. They keep their rates.

Quick Apply

A short application straight from the posting, with fewer steps between seeing the job and applying.

An in-house agency behind it

Advice and support come from people who run these campaigns themselves.

Onboarding

Two ways to onboard. Both are operated.

Every connection starts with credentials and ends with a live sync. You choose per customer how they get there, and Kini operates the connection either way.

What every onboarding takes

Each connection runs through two phases. The first one depends on your customer, the second one is on us.

Phase 1

Getting the credentials

Your customer creates credentials in their ATS. This is the part that takes time, and the part Kini guides them through with a guide in every Magic Link.

Phase 2

The technical connection

Once we have the credentials, it's minutes. Not weeks.

Two ways to get there

Send a Magic Link and let your customer connect, or set the integration up yourself in the Kini workspace.

Magic Link

You operate. Kini delivers.

You send your customer a Magic Link. They select their ATS or job board and enter credentials. Kini handles mapping, validation and the first sync.

FAQ

Questions about the platform.

What's the difference between Kini Core and Kini Shop?

Kini Core is the integration engine. It connects ATS systems, recruiting agencies and job boards, adapting to whatever each source system can do while you keep a single connection on your side, and adds an operating layer with monitoring and recovery. Kini Shop is the distribution layer that turns 1,500+ job boards into one channel. Shop usually builds on Core, and either can be used on its own.

How does Kini connect to a system?

In two directions. On the source side, Kini adapts to whatever a system offers: APIs, email parsing, crawling, structured feeds, custom mappings, or Kini AI where there is no interface at all. That list is open-ended. On your side, you build exactly one connection, an API, a feed or webhooks, with one API key per partner.

How is Kini different from a unified API?

A unified API gives you one REST endpoint across systems, but it only works where the source system speaks REST. If a system has no API, it isn't covered. Kini gives you the same single connection on your side and adapts to the source system, whatever it offers. On top of that come the operating layer with anomaly detection, automatic recovery and human escalation, the multi-customer workspace, and job board distribution through Kini Shop.

What is the multi-customer workspace?

It's how agencies, job boards and ATS providers serve their end customers from one Kini account. Each end customer has their own credentials, mappings and sync status, managed by the operator and white-label under the operator's own brand and domain. End customers connect their systems via Magic Link without engineering effort on their side.

How long does it take to get a first integration live?

Once Kini has the credentials, a first integration goes live in minutes, not weeks. What takes time is the step before: your customer has to create credentials in their ATS. The Magic Link includes a guide for exactly that, and Kini keeps those guides up to date. If they get stuck, Kini can join the call.
