End-to-end Greenhouse integration for Cline
Cline uses `list_candidates` to find the people you need and `update_candidate` to fix their records. It handles the API calls so you don't have to write the integration code yourself. Tell Cline to find a specific candidate and change their status. It performs the update and confirms the result within the sidebar, keeping your workflow tight.
Pipeline control via Cline
Move candidates through your hiring stages by invoking `advance_application` or `reject_application` directly from your workspace. It removes the need to manually navigate the recruiting portal. Cline reads the pipeline state and executes the move. You get a clear log of every change made to your applicant pool.
Query Greenhouse data from Cline
Get instant access to your office locations and departments using `list_offices` and `list_departments`. This puts your organizational structure right inside your editor. Cline fetches this data on demand. You can use it to verify job details before you start sourcing or scheduling new interviews.
