Introduction
Staffing agencies rarely work with one system. Recruiters publish jobs from the ATS to several job boards, applications arrive through different channels, and sourcing, screening and AI tools keep joining the stack. Every one of those tools is another place where a job or a candidate record has to arrive complete and on time.
On Wednesday, 21 October 2026, Kini exhibits at STAFFINGpro Expo 2026 at the RheinMain CongressCenter in Wiesbaden, booth C.08-C. If you want to talk about how your ATS, your job boards and your tools can exchange data without manual exports, come by the booth or book a slot with us in advance.

What is STAFFINGpro Expo 2026?
STAFFINGpro is the HR Services & Staffing Industry Expo, organised by HRM Institute GmbH & Co. KG in Mannheim. The organiser describes it as the expo for staffing experts in perm, temp and contracting, and the 2026 edition is listed in the official ticket shop as "Expo No. 5". It runs for a single day at the RheinMain CongressCenter in Wiesbaden.
The audience is narrow on purpose. According to the organiser, STAFFINGpro is aimed exclusively at decision-makers in temporary employment, staffing and HR services: managing directors, branch and site managers, recruiting managers of service providers, sales leaders and operations teams. Exhibitors cover the whole staffing value chain, from recruiting, matching and job boards to back office, payroll, compliance and AI.
The programme runs across three content stages, a Contracting Stage and a Podcast Lounge. Most sessions are in German.

Kini co-founder Fabian Scheib will be at the booth together with colleagues from the Kini team. Fabian was at STAFFINGpro in 2025 as well and summed up those days on LinkedIn like this:
Spannende Tage voller Austausch, Inspiration und Begegnungen mit bestehenden und neuen Partnern aus der Staffing- und Recruiting-Welt.
"Exciting days full of exchange, inspiration and meetings with existing and new partners from the staffing and recruiting world" (translated from German). Fabian Scheib on LinkedIn, 22 October 2025
What can you talk to Kini about at the booth?
Kini's entry on the official exhibitor list sums up the problem we want to discuss in Wiesbaden:
Staffing companies are using an increasing number of recruiting systems, job boards, and specialized tools. Kini connects these solutions and automates the exchange of data: jobs are automatically distributed, candidates are transferred back into the ATS, and sourcing, screening, or AI tools can be seamlessly integrated.

In practice, these are the conversations we are preparing for:
- Your ATS and your channels. Kini connects an ATS with the systems it exchanges data with. Jobs go out of the ATS to the channels, and applications come back into the ATS with a sync status on every record. The ATS stays the system of record. The integrations directory lists the systems Kini connects, including zvoove Recruit, Cockpit (RecruitNow), Talent360 (talent.Flow), HR4YOU, coveto and PD Commander.
- Job-board reach. Kini Shop is a job-board marketplace that distributes job ads to 1,500+ boards, including Indeed, StepStone, Kleinanzeigen and the Bundesagentur für Arbeit.
- Who keeps the connections running. Kini operates the integrations as an ongoing service: monitoring, retries, recovery and connector maintenance are included. If you want the longer argument, read Managed Recruiting Connectivity explained.
- Onboarding and data protection. End customers connect their own ATS through a one-time magic link, so the partner never handles their credentials. Data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt), and a data processing agreement is available.
Several systems from Kini's integrations directory are exhibiting at STAFFINGpro 2026 too, among them zvoove (C.03), HR4YOU (C.06), CIXON (C.02), coveto (B.06), talent360 (B.08), Talention (E.11), compleet (E.09) and PD Connect (E.14). If you already work with one of them, bring your questions about how it connects to your job boards and tools.
Which sessions fit a visit to the Kini booth?
The programme on the official site is still marked as not final, so check the times on the day. Three sessions from the current programme touch the same questions:
- 10:00, Content Stage 3: Corinna Hammerstingl, VP Product at zvoove, on "Das Ende des Bedienens", about how AI changes the roles of people and systems in staffing (title translated from German).
- 12:00, MeetUp: Pia Tischer, managing director of coveto ATS GmbH, on "Schluss mit der Toolschlacht", AI for sales and recruiting directly in the ATS (title translated from German).
- 16:10, Content Stage 1: keynote by Bill Boorman, AIM Group, "When friction disappears, only the moat remains".
Book a coffee with the team.
How do you book a meeting with Kini at STAFFINGpro?
The easiest way is to book a meeting and mention STAFFINGpro, so we can set aside a time slot at booth C.08-C on 21 October. Tell us which ATS and job boards you use, and we will come prepared. You can also simply stop by the booth during the day.
To get in, you need a ticket from the organiser. STAFFINGpro is a trade visitor event, and the organiser reserves the right to check registrations and refuse entry to visitors outside the target audience.
