Filter and review candidates inside Claude Desktop

The `list_applicants` tool lets your Claude Desktop client handle the initial review process. When you ask Claude to find top candidates, it pulls active profiles and runs `get_applicant` to grab their details. You don't have to bounce back and forth between your browser tabs to see who applied. This MCP tool reads the raw applicant data directly. Claude Desktop can summarize resumes or compare candidate profiles against open roles without you copying and pasting text into the chat.

Track recruiter notes with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `get_applicant_notes` to keep your hiring team aligned without leaving the Claude Desktop chat interface. Your agent can fetch internal feedback on candidates to see what other interviewers thought. Claude Desktop parses these raw hiring notes to highlight green flags or potential concerns. You get a quick, honest summary of where a candidate stands before you hop on a screening call.

Draft and post new job listings in Claude Desktop

The `create_job` tool lets you draft and post new job listings directly from Claude Desktop. Ask your agent to write a post, then let it push that listing live to your company sites. The agent checks available locations using `list_sites` first to make sure the office location is correct. This keeps your hiring pipeline moving without you ever opening your ATS administrator dashboard.
