# Jobvite MCP > Jobvite connects your entire Applicant Tracking System directly into your workflow. Use this MCP to manage candidates, create job postings, and update application statuses from your agent without ever leaving your current interface. You can list candidate profiles, track all active jobs, or simply move a candidate through the hiring pipeline with a simple conversation. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** recruitment, hiring, applicant-tracking, hr-tech, talent-acquisition ## Description This connection lets you run your recruiting operations entirely through natural dialogue. Instead of juggling multiple tabs—one for job listings, another for candidate records, and yet a third for application statuses—you tell your agent what needs to happen. You can pull up details on any candidate or active job using simple requests, then use those details to update their status in the hiring workflow. If you're managing talent acquisition across multiple platforms, Vinkius makes it easy to connect Jobvite alongside other services right from one place. It means your agent handles the data flow; you just handle the hiring decisions. ## Tools ### create_candidate Generates a new candidate profile record within Jobvite. ### create_job Adds a completely new job requisition to your company's active listings in Jobvite. ### get_candidate Retrieves all data associated with one specific candidate profile. ### get_job Pulls detailed information for a single, specified job posting. ### list_applications Generates a list of all applications currently tracked in the system. ### list_candidates Provides an overview list of every candidate record available. ### list_jobs Lists all job requisitions that are currently active and open for applications. ### update_application_status Changes the current workflow status of an existing application, like moving it to 'Interview'. ### update_candidate Modifies details on an already established candidate profile. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active job requisitions in Jobvite. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved the active jobs.

The recruiter finds a promising profile but notices the application status is stuck in 'Submitted.' They ask their agent to check the details and then update it. The agent uses `get_candidate` first, confirming contact info, and then executes `update_application_status` to move the candidate to 'Interview Scheduled'. This closes the gap between data review and process action. ### The team needs a new job role filled immediately. A hiring manager knows they need another Product Manager. They ask their agent, who uses `list_jobs` to confirm current openings, then executes `create_job`, filling out the details and posting the requisition instantly. ### Need a quick rundown of all open roles. An operations specialist needs an inventory check. They simply ask for all active jobs. The agent uses `list_jobs` to deliver the entire roster, giving them immediate visibility into capacity and scope. ### A high-volume hiring event requires bulk data entry. The HR team processes 50 new applicants in one day. Instead of opening a form for each person, they use the agent to run `create_candidate` repeatedly, feeding the necessary information and building out all records at once. ## Benefits - Stop jumping between tabs. You can retrieve specific candidate details using `get_candidate` and then immediately update their profile via `update_candidate`, all without leaving your agent chat. - Keep job postings current. Use the MCP to list active jobs with `list_jobs`, review the specifics of a role with `get_job`, and push new openings straight into the system using `create_job`. - Track progress efficiently. Instead of manually changing statuses, you can tell your agent to update an application status—a process handled by `update_application_status`—and it gets recorded instantly. - Build candidate records fast. If a referral comes in, use `create_candidate` to build the profile immediately. It's faster than copying and pasting data into multiple forms. - Consolidated visibility: You can get a full list of candidates via `list_candidates`, then drill down using `get_candidate` if you need specific historical context for an interview. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you treat your entire ATS as just another set of conversational tools. 1.
