Connect Greenhouse Alternative MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Greenhouse Alternative to Google ADK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Run recruitment analytics via Google ADK
The `get_candidate_activity_feed` tool extracts candidate histories to feed your analytical pipelines. Your Google ADK agents process this raw timeline data alongside your BigQuery warehouse, giving you clear insights into recruiter bottlenecks. To keep these reports fresh, your agent periodically runs `list_applications` using this MCP Server setup to sync the status of every active applicant. Long-context Gemini models ingest these lists to spot where hiring managers are stalling.
Manage job board distribution at scale
The `list_board_jobs` tool queries your active job board to verify which roles are currently public. Google ADK agents match these listings with your internal department structures using `list_board_departments` to make sure every team's openings are correctly represented. When you open a new satellite office, the agent calls `list_board_offices` to map candidates to the correct geographical location. This keeps your external job boards aligned with physical office needs.
Automate partner candidate submissions with this MCP Server
The `submit_partner_candidate` tool allows your Google ADK agent to push vetted referrals directly into your hiring pipeline. External recruiters no longer need to deal with clunky portal logins to submit talent. Every submission automatically triggers `create_partner_tracking_link` to guarantee that external sourcers get credited for their candidates. Your partner relationships remain completely clean and transparent as a result.
