Talent Palette
Add Talent Palette to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Talent Palette is the talent management system from Plus Alpha Consulting, used by Japanese employers to hold what a payroll system of record leaves out: skills, evaluations, career history, engagement survey answers and the analysis built on top of them. That makes it a people data store rather than a payroll engine, and an integration should be honest about the difference. Your product reads employee profiles and org structure, evaluation cycles and their results, and the survey and skill data an employer has accumulated, every read scoped to the employer that granted it. Every field here was configured by that employer, including the evaluation forms and the competency lists, so mapping is per tenant. This is sensitive personal data, so the connection reaches only the fields you mapped, and each read is recorded.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each employer connect their own Talent Palette account so your product works from the people data their HR team maintains.
Read evaluation results and skill records, so decisions in your product reflect what a manager actually assessed.
Read engagement survey results per tenant, treating each employer's own question set as configuration.
Map the employee profile and org structure fields your features need, and nothing beyond them.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent finds who holds a given skill inside one company and how recently it was assessed.
An agent summarises an evaluation cycle's results for a team without exporting the underlying records.
An agent reports where survey participation is lowest, with each read logged per tenant.
Example prompt
Which teams in this company scored lowest on engagement this cycle, and how does that track against turnover?
Set up Talent Palette in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Talent Palette connector in your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each employer authorise their own account so people data is read under their credentials.
- 03Map the profile, evaluation, skill and survey fields that employer configured, keeping the set minimal.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the Talent Palette integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Talent Palette integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Talent Palette account inside your product and work their employees, employment records and working time there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: HR data is sensitive and its access rules are stricter than most systems. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Talent Palette update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Talent Palette connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep people data current without manual re-entry without wiring it twice.

BoxTalent Palette integration FAQ
How do I add a Talent Palette integration to my product?
Enable the Talent Palette connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Talent Palette account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Talent Palette client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Talent Palette account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Talent Palette account and only ever sees their own employees, employment records and working time. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Talent Palette integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent finds who holds a given skill inside one company and how recently it was assessed.
Who maintains the Talent Palette integration?
fastn does. When Talent Palette changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
How is sensitive Talent Palette employee data handled?
Access is scoped per tenant and limited to the fields you map, credentials are encrypted, and every read and write is logged. You expose only what your product actually needs rather than the whole employee record.
Can joiner, mover and leaver changes be automated?
Yes. Where Talent Palette is where a hire, a role change or a departure is recorded, that change can trigger downstream provisioning or removal across the customer's other connected systems. Where Talent Palette sits downstream of the HR system of record, the same event can be pushed into it so its worker list, schedules and access stay in step, which is where most of the manual effort sits.
What can I build with the Talent Palette integration?
A common starting point: let each employer connect their own Talent Palette account so your product works from the people data their HR team maintains. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Talent Palette integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Talent Palette does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
