Let VS Code Copilot manage your job listings

The `create_job` tool lets VS Code Copilot write and deploy job descriptions without swapping to your web browser. Your agent can draft a post in your editor and push it straight to your active ATS. The agent verifies your company's active domains using `list_sites` to ensure the post goes to the right careers page. You get a fast, terminal-free publishing workflow.

Review candidate profiles with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `list_applicants` to give your coding assistant access to active job seekers. It lets you build internal tools that display candidate information without manual database queries. VS Code Copilot reads the candidate details via `get_applicant` to help you map database fields to your custom UI components. You don't have to manually inspect API payloads.

Audit recruiter assignments in VS Code Copilot

This MCP tool lets VS Code Copilot pull your active recruiter directory using `list_users`. You can ensure your team assignments are correct while maintaining your internal HR portal. By comparing this list against the owner of a job from `get_job`, the agent can flag unassigned listings or outdated recruiters directly in your editor's chat.
