Semantic search for Manatal in LlamaIndex
Pipe `list_candidates` output into your vector store to build a searchable knowledge base of your talent pool. You no longer need to remember names; just search by skill or experience. Your index updates as you query, ensuring that your agent always references the latest records. This turns your static ATS data into a dynamic research tool.
Ground LlamaIndex answers in Manatal data
Use `get_job` to index current requirements alongside candidate profiles. When you ask about talent gaps, your agent pulls from this grounded knowledge base instead of hallucinating. This prevents the common issue of AI guessing about job statuses. Every answer is backed by the actual state returned by the API.
Query historical applications in LlamaIndex
Load `list_applications` into your document index to analyze past hiring trends. Your agent can compare current performance against historical data points indexed from your account. Retrieve deep insights using `get_application` to see notes and status changes. This gives you a clear picture of why certain hires succeeded or failed.
