List All Recruiters

Need a list of recruiters? The `list_recruiters` tool pulls all the necessary IDs and contact info. You commit this config once, and everyone on the team has access. You can then write code that processes those records using standard programming logic.

Track Hiring Stages

Use `list_stages` to pull every defined stage in Workable. This is useful for building state machines or validation checks across your project. The team commits this configuration via `.vscode/mcp.json`, so the whole engineering org uses the same definitions.

View Job Details Across Team

The `get_job` tool lets you pull specific job details for documentation or comparisons. If a team member needs to review requirements, they just ask Copilot. This keeps the information sourced and version-controlled alongside the code base.
