Short answer

How can I get new hire data using my AI?

Your AI uses the ApplicantStack MCP to look up recent hires and their specific onboarding records. You get the exact data you need without logging into the ApplicantStack dashboard manually.

The outcomes

What you get from the data

Once the connection is live, your AI handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval.

DATA

Instant hire lists

The AI pulls a list of recent hires from ApplicantStack. You can then ask for specific details about any person on that list.

INFO

Onboarding details

Get access to the specific onboarding information tied to a new employee. This includes the records needed to get them started.

SYNC

Cross-tool updates

Since your AI has the data, you can move it into other documents or chats. This keeps your onboarding info moving where it needs to go.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You still need to review the data for accuracy. The AI provides the information, but you make the final call on any sensitive personnel decisions.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your ApplicantStack account.

  1. Identify recent hires

    The AI scans your ApplicantStack account to find the most recent additions to your team.
