Process Candidate Information

When you need a profile, your agent uses `get_candidate` and injects the resulting JSON directly into your code. You can also scaffold new records using `create_candidate` to build out data structures quickly.

Manage Job Offer Workflows

Writing recruitment logic? Call `list_jobs` to fetch current openings and loop through them in your script. Need a new role defined? The agent calls `create_job`, giving you the necessary function parameters.

Generate Legal & Time Records

Contracts and timesheets are handled with specific tools. You'll call `generate_contract` to build the template, or use `submit_timesheet` when creating payroll logic. Signing is finished with `sign_contract`.
