Run candidate vetting inside Claude Desktop

The `get_candidate` tool lets your agent pull full developer profiles and contact details right into your Claude Desktop chat window. You can ask Claude to analyze candidate backgrounds, compare resumes, or prepare interview questions based on real profile data. Instead of jumping between tabs, you feed real-time candidate profiles to your agent. This lets you draft highly personalized outreach emails or prepare for technical interviews in seconds.

Audit your hiring pipeline with this MCP Server

The `list_applications` tool serves as your primary eye on applicant flow, letting your agent fetch new submissions instantly. You can combine this with `get_application` to inspect specific screening answers, internal recruiter notes, and stage statuses directly. Claude Desktop processes these application lists to highlight high-priority candidates. You see exactly who applied, what they wrote, and where they stand in your hiring funnel.

Filter jobs by department and location

The `list_jobs` tool retrieves all active job postings from your Join account, enabling your MCP client to organize open roles. Your agent uses this list alongside `list_departments` and `list_locations` to categorize vacancies or find specific postings. Claude Desktop maps these jobs to your current hiring priorities instantly. You get a clean breakdown of open roles by office or team without digging through recruiter dashboards.
