Check Candidate Status

Need to know what's up with a candidate? The `get_candidate` tool pulls all the details you need for any specific profile. You don't have to click through Workable; your agent just gets it. You can also run `list_candidates` if you want an overview of everyone in the pipeline right now.

Find Job Details

Don't waste time navigating job boards. Use `get_job` to pull specific posting data, or run `list_jobs` to see all active openings at once. It gets you the raw text and IDs. This is useful when your agent needs to compare requirements across different roles before drafting a JD.

Build New Profiles

Got a candidate that needs adding? The `create_candidate` tool handles that. You give it the data, and it makes the profile live in Workable. This is great for your agent when you're manually onboarding someone who didn't apply through the main portal.
