KI BMS ships an MCP server you can wire into Claude Desktop or any MCP client in five lines. The same auth + access gates apply, the same audit log records every action, the same rate limits apply. HeavenHR doesn't currently expose this surface - that's the gap.

At a glance

HeavenHR is a fair pick for 10-50-person teams in Germany wanting one tool for files + absence + payroll handoff + a bit of recruiting. KI BMS is right when recruiting is your bottleneck and you want a tool that does exactly that, modern: KI pre-sort, real pipeline, public careers page. If you need both in parallel, the math is friendly: HeavenHR for HR (~€6/employee/month), KI BMS for recruiting (€1-10/month flat). Under €250/month combined for a 30-person company.

Agent surface

What 'agent-friendly' actually means in practice

KI BMS ships an MCP server, a CLI, and drop-in clients in 15 languages. They're auto-generated from the same schema your UI uses; the auth, the access gates, the rate limits, the audit log all apply identically whether you're clicking buttons or calling the API. HeavenHR doesn't currently expose this surface, which is the gap a serious agent integration trips over - the agent ends up scraping the UI through a browser, which is fragile, slow, and silently bypasses everything below.

When to pick which

Pick KI BMS when

Recruiting is your bottleneck - 5+ open roles or 100+ applications per quarter.
You already have HeavenHR or DATEV or Sage for payroll + files and just need a better ATS.
KI pre-sort with per-application reasoning is the deciding lever - not 'another recruiting tab in the HR suite'.

Pick HeavenHR when

You don't have HR software yet and need files + absence + payroll handoff first.
Recruiting is small - 1-3 roles a year, the tool needs to suffice, not shine.
A suite is politically easier to procure than two specialists.
