Manage your recruitment pipeline in Claude Desktop

Use `list_candidates` and `list_jobs` to bring current CRM data into your conversation. You get instant visibility into your active pipeline without opening the browser. Your agent handles the heavy lifting by calling `get_candidate` or `get_job` to fetch specific details. It's faster than clicking through the web interface.

Automate contact and placement lookups

Call `list_contacts` to find the right people for your current roles. You can ask your agent to cross-reference these with `list_placements` for a clear view of who is currently working. This keeps your data current while you draft communications. It turns your chat window into a functional CRM terminal.

Execute recruitment actions via MCP Server

Use `create_candidate` to add new talent to your database from your chat input. You can also run `list_actions` to see what needs immediate attention. Everything stays in one window. Your agent processes these commands and updates your records in real-time.
