Perplexity

Vet candidates directly in Claude Desktop

The `list_applicants` tool pulls active job seekers directly into your local Claude Desktop window. Your agent parses resumes, cross-references credentials, and queues up the next contact steps based on real-time pipeline status. When you need deeper verification, the `list_references` tool brings reference check details right into the chat. Claude Desktop parses these logs to highlight potential red flags or strong endorsements before you schedule the interview.

Run live hiring audits using this MCP Server

The `get_recruitment_dashboard` tool feeds active pipeline metrics directly into your desktop chat. This lets your agent run instant reports on time-to-hire or active application volume without you opening a browser. You can also call `list_activities` to see what your hiring team did today. Claude Desktop reads these logs to summarize recent recruiter notes, status updates, and candidate emails.

Track open roles and active placements

The `list_jobs` tool pulls your current job catalog straight into your chat interface. Your agent compares active job descriptions against incoming applicant profiles to find the closest matches. Once a hire is made, the `list_placements` tool updates your record. This keeps your local workspace aligned with actual onboarding dates and salary structures.
