Perplexity

Manage your applicant pipeline

The HireVue MCP Server turns Claude into your recruiting coordinator. You tell your agent to add a new applicant, and it fires off `create_candidate` instantly. Need to check if they passed the phone screen? It pulls the latest status using `get_candidate`. When a candidate emails you a fresh resume, you don't need to log into the web portal. Just drop the file into Claude. Your AI client reads the details and runs `update_candidate` to keep the record accurate.

Automate interview scheduling

Scheduling video interviews with `create_interview` happens directly in your chat window. You just tell Claude to set up a technical screen for Friday. The agent sends the invitation out immediately. Things change fast in recruiting. If a candidate drops out, you tell Claude to scrap the meeting. It triggers `cancel_interview` and clears the calendar. You can also check on any pending invite by asking the agent to run `get_interview`.

Track open positions instantly

Pulling active job boards using `list_positions` gives you immediate context before pitching candidates. Ask Claude what engineering jobs are active. It uses the tool to pull the current board. When you need the specific requirements for a senior developer slot, the agent runs `get_position`. It reads the exact criteria back to you, so you know exactly how to evaluate the next applicant with this MCP setup.

Common questions about HireVue MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your claude_desktop_config.json file. Add the server details under the mcpServers key and restart the app.

Yes. You can paste a list of names into the chat. Claude will loop through them and run the scheduling tools for each one.

You need an active API token from your corporate account. Free tier accounts usually lack the necessary API access.

The agent asks for confirmation before executing destructive actions. It verifies the exact ID before clearing the calendar.

Your agent processes names, emails, and interview times locally. The standard routes this data directly to the API, meaning Vinkius never stores your applicant profiles.
