Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-22 (score 50)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `create_candidate` (~79 tokens)

Create a new candidate/application in BambooHR or Greenhouse. For BambooHR, provide jobId and firstName/lastName/email/phoneNumber. For Greenhouse, provide job_id and first_name/last_name/email.

Input parameters:

- `candidate` (object, required): Candidate fields. Field names differ by platform — see tool description.
- `platform` (string, required)

### `advance_application` (~138 tokens)

Advance/move a candidate's application to a new stage/status. BambooHR: pass applicationId and statusId (use list_statuses first). Greenhouse: pass applicationId, fromStageId (required — guards against stale moves), and toStageId or toJobId.

Input parameters:

- `applicationId` (string|number, required)
- `fromStageId` (string|number): Greenhouse only, required
- `platform` (string, required)
- `statusId` (string|number): BambooHR only
- `toJobId` (string|number): Greenhouse only
- `toStageId` (string|number): Greenhouse only

### `reject_application` (~67 tokens)

Reject a candidate's application. Greenhouse only (BambooHR uses advance_application with a rejection status ID instead).

Input parameters:

- `applicationId` (string|number, required)
- `platform` (string, required)
- `rejectionNotes` (string)
- `rejectionReasonId` (string|number)

### `list_statuses` (~72 tokens)

List valid status/stage IDs for a platform. BambooHR: returns applicant statuses (needed before advance_application). Greenhouse: use the Greenhouse UI/Job API for stage IDs; this returns candidates instead as a practical substitute.

Input parameters:

- `jobId` (string|number)
- `platform` (string, required)

### `list_candidates` (~36 tokens)

List candidates/applications, optionally filtered by job ID.

Input parameters:

- `jobId` (string|number)
- `platform` (string, required)
