API Overview

The Kalent API gives you programmatic access to a talent search engine powered by real-time professional data. Build custom sourcing workflows, integrate talent discovery into your ATS, or automate candidate pipelines — all from a single endpoint.

Combine filters

Stack up to 17 filter types with required/optional, include/exclude, and exact-match modifiers for precise results.

Non-deterministic results
