Perplexity

Audit your candidate pipeline using this MCP Server.

Cascade reads your current workspace context and pulls immediate candidate lists via `list_applicants` using this MCP Server. It maps out who needs follow-ups and instantly correlates them with job openings using `list_jobs`. You don't have to prompt for each step. The agent cross-references active records with `get_recruitment_dashboard` to give you a clear picture of your hiring health without leaving your editor.

Deep-dive into applicant references with Windsurf.

When a candidate reaches the final stages, Cascade automatically pulls reference histories using `list_references`. It parses the feedback and flags any potential issues for your hiring managers. By executing `get_applicant` alongside these reference checks, the agent builds a complete dossier. You get the raw data you need to make quick hiring decisions without context switching.

Track placement metrics and team activity.

Keep tabs on how your recruiters are performing by letting Cascade query `list_activities`. It pulls recent logs so you can see who is talking to which candidate. It then chains this with `list_placements` to update your internal tracking files. You watch the agent pull the data, format the Markdown tables, and write them directly into your project docs.
