Instead of logging into the ATS to check statuses or build reports, you just ask your agent. You can quickly list active jobs across departments or fetch all application metadata for a candidate based on their stage in the pipeline. Need an update? Your agent handles that too; you can revise job seeker records or update existing applications without navigating complex forms. This gives recruiters and hiring managers immediate access to everything from department structures to interview schedules, keeping everyone aligned. You get instant visibility into your talent funnel, whether you’re listing all current requisitions or checking out public job postings for company awareness. It's like having a senior HR ops specialist sitting right next to you. This capability is managed through the Vinkius catalog, giving your AI client access to hundreds of other specialized tools when you need them. ## Tools ### create_application Builds a new job application record in the system. ### create_job_seeker Adds a brand-new individual to your pool of prospective candidates. ### create_job Establishes a new job opening within the company records. ### create_requisition Generates a formal internal request for a specific role. ### delete_application Removes an application record from the system. ### delete_job_seeker Permanently removes a job seeker's profile data. ### delete_job Deactivates and deletes an existing job posting. ### delete_requisition Removes a formal hiring requisition from the system. ### delete_user Deletes an active user account within Pinpoint. ### get_application Retrieves all specific details for one application ID. ### get_candidate Fetches the full profile and metadata for a candidate by name or ID. ### get_department Gets details on any specific company department. ### get_division Fetches information about a specific business division. ### get_interview Retrieves the full schedule and details for one scheduled interview. ### get_job_seeker Gets all known information about a job seeker profile. ### get_job Retrieves the full description and status of any specific open job role. ### get_location Gets details for a physical office location or site. ### get_public_postings Shows the company's current public job postings without needing an API key, just your subdomain. ### get_requisition Retrieves all details for a specific internal hiring requisition ID. ### get_user Fetches the profile information for any user account in Pinpoint. ### list_applications Retrieves a list of all applications currently stored in your system. ### list_candidates Provides an overview and summary list of all job candidates. ### list_custom_attributes Lists the specialized data fields you use to track candidate information. ### list_departments Retrieves a list of all departments set up in your company structure. ### list_divisions Provides an overview and listing of all business divisions. ### list_interviews Lists all scheduled interviews across the entire organization. ### list_job_seekers Retrieves a list summary of every job seeker profile you have on file. ### list_jobs Lists all open jobs, allowing filtering by status, visibility, department, or location. ### list_locations Provides a list of every physical work location you manage. ### list_onboarding_applications Lists applications specifically related to new employee onboarding paperwork. ### list_questions Retrieves a list of standard interview questions used by the company. ### list_requisitions Lists all formal hiring requisitions, providing status and details for each one. ### list_scorecards Provides a list of standardized evaluation forms used during the interview process. ### list_users Lists all user accounts that have access to Pinpoint. ### update_application Changes or corrects details for an existing application record. ### update_candidate Modifies the general profile information of a job candidate. ### update_interview Makes changes to an already scheduled interview event. ### update_job_seeker Updates the personal contact or background details of a job seeker. ### update_job Modifies the description, status, or requirements of an active job posting. ### update_requisition Updates the details on a formal hiring requisition after initial creation. ### update_user Changes user permissions or personal data for an internal employee account. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active jobs in the Engineering department. ``` **Response:** ``` I've found 3 active jobs in Engineering: 'Senior Backend Engineer' (ID: 101), 'DevOps Lead' (ID: 105), and 'Frontend Developer' (ID: 110).

Instead of running reports and manually checking each file, you ask your agent to list all applications. Then, you tell it to get candidate details for those who haven't been interviewed yet. The system pulls up the necessary metadata instantly. ### A hiring manager needs to know if a role is still open. The manager asks their agent for all active jobs in Engineering. The agent runs `list_jobs` and immediately tells them which roles are visible and require attention, saving the manager from checking department by department. ### A recruiter needs to correct an applicant's phone number. The recruiter doesn't need to navigate to the profile. They simply tell their agent to update the job seeker record with the new phone number, using `update_job_seeker`. ### HR Ops needs a full overview of all open positions for Q3. The specialist asks the agent to list all requisitions. The agent runs `list_requisitions`, providing a clean summary that helps them plan resource allocation across divisions. ## Benefits - You get immediate visibility into job requirements and application statuses. Instead of opening the ATS to check a specific role, you ask your agent, and it pulls up details for any job using `get_job` or listing all openings via `list_jobs`. - The system handles candidate data updates automatically. You can update candidate profiles or revise existing applications using `update_candidate` or `update_application`, telling your agent what to change instead of clicking through forms. - Coordination is effortless. If you need to see the next steps for a hire, your agent lists all scheduled interviews (`list_interviews`) and fetches details for any specific meeting with `get_interview`. No more checking calendars manually. - Data reporting becomes instant. You can query organizational structure by listing departments or divisions, which helps HR Ops staff plan future hiring needs without manual data gathering. - The workflow stays contained. Whether you're creating a new job (`create_job`) or onboarding a new employee with `list_onboarding_applications`, all actions stay within your conversation tool. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get instant access to deep ATS data without leaving your conversation window. 1.
