Recruiters are already using tools like Claude and ChatGPT to prepare for meetings, research clients, write follow-ups and pull together reports. But those tools don’t know the history sitting in your recruitment platform unless you give it to them.
That usually means doing the legwork yourself: finding the latest notes, uploading a resume and explaining what happened on the last call before you can get to the question you actually want answered.
That’s where SourceWhale’s MCP comes in. It connects compatible AI tools to the candidates, clients, roles and conversations already in SourceWhale, so your AI can start with the information it needs instead of waiting for you to supply it. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, the standard that makes that connection possible.
Work with SourceWhale from the AI tools you already use
Once connected, you can ask about any candidates, clients or roles without clicking through records to piece together the history first.
You can:
- Get up to speed fast. Ask what happened last time, what’s changed and what you need to know before your next conversation.
- Find the detail you need. Search across calls, meetings, notes and resumes, even when nobody added the information to a field.
- Put that information to work. Use what SourceWhale knows in the brief, report or workflow you’re building, or make supported updates back in SourceWhale.
That could mean checking what a client said about salary flexibility, finding candidates who’ve mentioned they’d relocate or seeing what needs your attention before you start the day.
Work with what was actually said
Recruitment relationships don’t fit neatly into CRM fields. A candidate’s notice period might come up once on a phone call, a client might change part of the brief halfway through a conversation, or the real reason someone turned down an offer might never make it into a note.
But because SourceWhale captures those conversations and keeps them connected to the right person or role, that detail doesn’t disappear just because nobody added it to a field. With full transcripts of captured phone calls, your AI can go back to what was actually said instead of relying on what someone remembered to type in afterward.
So when you ask, “What did Grace say about salary expectations on our last call?”, the answer can come from the conversation itself.
Use SourceWhale beyond the SourceWhale tab
The SourceWhale MCP brings the depth of your recruitment relationships into the wider AI environment you’re already using, allowing you to:
- Work on the move. Check the latest candidate or client history before the next conversation, even when you’re away from your desk, using an AI tool that supports MCP on mobile.
- Bring different sources together. Combine recent SourceWhale interactions with new vacancies, company news or research from elsewhere to build a client briefing from more than one source.
- Create something ready to share. Bring SourceWhale data into a client deck, management report or board pack alongside information from other systems, without exporting and rebuilding everything by hand.
