Headless recruiting with Claude Code

Integrate `list_applications` into your shell scripts to monitor incoming leads. Claude Code pulls the raw data so you can pipe it into your own custom reporting tools. It runs in your terminal, making it perfect for CI/CD pipelines. You get the data you need without any GUI overhead.

Automate status updates

Use `get_application` to pull status updates for specific candidates in your terminal. You can script alerts for when an application moves to the next stage. Claude Code handles the authentication and tool invocation. It keeps your recruitment workflow fast and keyboard-driven.

Manage your hiring environment

Query `list_users` and `list_departments` to keep your local environment in sync with your organization's structure. Claude Code fetches these details in seconds. Use `get_me` to verify your session status before running batch jobs. It is built for engineers who want to control their hiring stack from the command line.
