Feature Scope
Kini provides a unified API for connecting applicant tracking systems (ATS), recruitment channels, and multiposters. It is already integrated with more than 35 systems. Public API documentation and free integration setup are available.
Job Sync imports vacancies from an ATS, career site, or XML feed and provides standardized job data through an API or XML. Filtering and enhancement options reduce mapping and development work. Candidate Sync supports QuickApply and transfers candidates into the customer’s ATS through the Kini API, email-to-API parsing, or custom data extraction services.
- Performance Insights provides standardized campaign metrics via API to measure results, adjust campaigns, reallocate budgets, and identify upsell opportunities.
- The platform claims onboarding can be reduced from weeks to hours, with job postings starting within hours. A testimonial describes onboarding in minutes instead of weeks.
- Listed integrations include Personio, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Teamtailor, Recruitee, SAP SuccessFactors, iCIMS, Bullhorn, Workable, Onlyfy, eRecruiter, Kenjo, Factorial, Cegid, Umantis, HRworks, Rexx, d.vinci, HR4You, and Softgarden.
- The website is available in English and German. SmartConnect Technologies GmbH is based in Germany; a Privacy Policy is linked. Support is available at support@getkini.com.
- Stated business-impact examples include €25,000 in monthly development-cost savings, a €2,400 reduction in cost per hire, and a 30% conversion increase. These are benefit claims, not prices.
Standardisierte Performancedaten lassen sich per API für eigene Dashboards und Reports abrufen. Kampagnen können anhand ihrer Leistung angepasst, Budgets nach Traffic-Channel verteilt und Upselling-Potenziale bei unterperformenden Kampagnen erkannt werden.
- Job Sync stellt vereinheitlichte Jobdaten per API oder XML bereit; Candidate Sync unterstützt QuickApply und die Übertragung von Kandidaten ins ATS, auch per E-Mail-Weiterleitung zu API-Calls.
- Die einheitliche Kini-API verbindet mehr als 35 Systeme. Dokumentation und eine kostenlose Integrations-Einrichtung werden angeboten.
- Als Nutzenangaben nennt der Anbieter monatliche Einsparungen von €25.000 und eine Senkung der Kosten pro Einstellung um €2.400; dies sind keine Preise.
- Das Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Deutschland.
