Short answer

How can I update candidate profiles using AI?

Your AI uses the HireVue MCP to pull existing records and push changes back to the platform. You can modify contact details or add new people without ever opening the HireVue dashboard. This breakdown shows how the data moves between your chat and the platform.

The results.

Where your updates land.

Every command you give your AI results in a specific change to your HireVue records.

SYNCED

Updated records

The AI modifies existing candidate details. Your HireVue dashboard stays current with the new info you provided in chat.

NEW

Fresh candidates

You can add entirely new people to your pipeline. The AI creates the record so you don't have to type it manually.

VERIFIED

Accurate data

Your AI pulls current details to ensure you aren't overwriting good info with bad data. It checks what's there before it changes anything.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI handles the data entry, but you still decide which candidates are worth updating. You remain the final decision maker for every profile change.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a change.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of navigating the HireVue interface.

    The AI finds the specific person you want to work with by looking up their current profile information.

  2. Add new entries

    If the person isn't in the system yet, the AI builds a brand new profile from your description.

    create_candidate

  3. Modify existing info

    The AI takes your instructions and overwrites specific fields in the existing HireVue record.

    update_candidate

  4. Confirm the change
