After you find candidates, SeekOut MCP and your AI assistant can help you evaluate, organize, and act on the results without leaving the conversation. Some tasks only generate content in chat; others call SeekOut tools that use credits or write data to Recruit or your connected ATS.
Every MCP action respects your SeekOut permissions. Review requested actions before approving them in your assistant. SeekOut MCP exposes specific write operations, such as creating workspaces and pushing candidates to an ATS, but it does not expose tools for deleting records.

​
Available candidate tasks

​
Retrieve contact details

Retrieve verified email addresses and phone numbers for candidates in your results. Contact retrieval uses your organization’s SeekOut credit balance.

Get the available email addresses and phone numbers for the top three candidates in this shortlist.

If you are unsure which credits are available, ask your SeekOut administrator.

​
Draft outreach

Ask your assistant to draft personalized email, InMail, or call-script copy using the role and profile details already in the conversation. Drafting does not send a message or change candidate data.

Draft a personalized outreach email for the top candidate. Reference one relevant detail from their background and keep the message under 100 words.

​
Export profiles

Export candidate profiles to Excel or Google Sheets for review and sharing. Specify the fields you want to include, such as name, title, company, location, skills, and evaluation notes.

Export this shortlist to a spreadsheet with names, titles, companies, locations, skills, and evaluation notes.

Exporting profiles uses your organization’s available SeekOut export credits.

​
Push candidates to your ATS

Send candidates to a requisition in your connected ATS. Confirm the destination requisition before approving the action.

Push the top three candidates to the senior product designer requisition in our connected ATS. Show me the destination before completing the action.

ATS actions are available only when your organization has configured a supported integration and your account has access to the destination requisition.

​
Save candidates to Recruit

Create a SeekOut Recruit workspace or add candidates to an existing one. Workspaces created or updated through MCP remain available in Recruit.

Save these candidates to a new Recruit workspace named Senior React — New York.

​
Compare and shortlist

Ask your assistant to compare profiles, assess fit against role criteria, or rank a candidate slate. This analysis is generated in the conversation and does not change candidate records.

Compare these candidates for our head of data science role and rank them by technical leadership, machine learning depth, and startup experience.

​
Limited or conditional support

Some tasks still require Recruit or Career Compass: See Recruiting workflows for the broader sourcing journey or Tool reference for the underlying MCP operations.
