Launch screenings directly from Claude Desktop

The `create_new_vetting_check` tool triggers a background check on a candidate profile right inside your chat. You just pass the candidate details to Claude Desktop, and the tool initiates the screening process without you opening another browser tab. To set up a profile first, use `create_screening_contact` to register the candidate. This adds the candidate to your database immediately, preparing their profile for criminal record or employment verification.

Segment candidates with this MCP Server

Grouping candidates happens instantly when you use `create_contact_group` to segment your pipeline. Claude Desktop reads your current pipeline and assigns candidates to these groups to keep your dashboard clean. You can pull the full list of your active segments using `list_contact_groups`. This keeps your hiring teams aligned by ensuring every candidate lands in the correct screening queue.

Track active vetting progress in Claude Desktop

Monitoring candidate progress is handled by `get_vetting_request_status` to pull real-time updates. Your agent monitors the progress of pending checks and updates your chat thread when the screening wraps up. If you need to stop a check, run `cancel_active_vetting` to halt the search. This prevents unnecessary screening fees when a candidate drops out of your pipeline.
