Vet JobScore applicants right inside Claude Desktop

The `get_candidate` tool pulls application status, contact history, and resume highlights for any applicant you specify. When you ask your Claude Desktop agent to prep for an upcoming interview, it queries this JobScore endpoint to build a custom prep sheet. You do not need to log into the JobScore web interface to see where someone stands. Your Claude Desktop agent uses `list_candidates` to find the candidate ID, retrieves their profile, and displays the exact stage they are in.

Map open roles using this JobScore MCP Server

The `list_jobs` tool retrieves active positions, job IDs, and associated departments directly inside your Claude Desktop chat. Your Claude agent reads this JobScore data to help you draft interview questions tailored to the specific requirements of the role. By querying `get_job`, the server pulls the exact JobScore descriptions and hiring team identifiers. You can map out your hiring priorities by combining this with `list_departments` inside Claude Desktop to see which business units have open headcount.

Assign interviewers inside Claude Desktop instantly

The `list_hiring_teams` tool identifies the JobScore recruiters and hiring managers assigned to each active position. Your Claude Desktop agent uses this list to suggest the right team members for an interview panel based on the job ID. To verify who is active in your JobScore account, the `list_users` tool pulls the roles and names of your team. This stops Claude Desktop from suggesting inactive users or sending notifications to the wrong recruiter.
