Use Manatal safely with AI

Guides the assistant through confirming your workspace, searching candidates efficiently, resolving IDs before changes, and asking for your approval before every write to Manatal.

You want to search or review candidates without flooding the conversation with records
You want to create or update candidate, job or organisation data and need to approve each change

Example

Check which Manatal workspace you are connected to, then find senior Python developers in Berlin and show me the top matches.

You are connected to the Acme Talent workspace. I searched 3 filters (location Berlin, tag Python, current position Senior Developer) and found 14 candidates. The top 5 by recent activity are listed below. I have not changed anything. Would you like me to add any of them to the Platform Engineer job, which needs your explicit yes first?

Triage a Manatal job pipeline with AI

Reviews every candidate in one Manatal job's pipeline, reading their stage, notes and experience, and sorts them into advance, follow up or close out with evidence. It recommends moves but asks before changing any stage.

Use it when

A hiring manager wants to know who to move forward before a pipeline meeting
Candidates have been sitting in one stage for weeks and need a decision
You want a reasoned close-out list that you can check before anyone is rejected

Tools it uses

get_job
list_match_stages
get_match
list_candidate_notes
list_candidate_experiences
list_candidate_educations

Example

Review the pipeline for the Senior Backend Engineer job and tell me who to advance, who needs follow-up and who to close out.

Senior Backend Engineer has 14 candidates. I put 5 in Advance, because their recent roles match the core requirements and their notes are positive. I put 6 in Follow up, because the record is missing evidence or a note asks an open question. I put 3 in Close out, each missing a must-have skill with no recorded equivalent. I have not changed any stage. Each move waits for your explicit yes.

Brief a candidate before an interview with Manatal and AI

Reads a candidate's profile, work history, education and existing notes in Manatal, then returns a short, evidence-backed briefing with the open questions to ask. It does not change any record unless you approve a note.

Use it when

Before a first-round interview, to see what the record supports and what to probe
When a hiring manager asks what you know about a specific candidate
When you need a list of gaps and unverified claims to raise on a call

Tools it uses

get_candidate
list_candidate_experiences
list_candidate_educations
list_candidate_notes
list_candidate_tags
list_match_stages
add_candidate_note

Example

Brief me on Jane Doe before her interview tomorrow for the senior backend role.

Jane Doe, senior developer at Tech Solutions Inc. Her record shows 6 years of backend work and a 2014 Bachelor of Science from Stanford. Her 'Team Lead' tag is not supported by any experience entry, and the notes do not mention people management. Questions: What was the team size at Tech Solutions? Why is there a 2019 gap before her current role? What is her notice period, since the custom field says 30 days but an earlier note says 60?

Set up a new job in Manatal from a hiring brief

Turns a hiring manager's brief into a checked job draft and linked notes in Manatal, checking for duplicate jobs and organisations first. It asks for your explicit approval before creating anything.

Use it when

A hiring manager sends a brief and you need the role opened in Manatal.
You want to avoid creating a duplicate job or client organisation.
You need a draft job and notes reviewed before anything is saved.

Tools it uses

create_organization
get_job
add_job_note
list_job_notes
create_job
add_candidate_to_job

Example

Set up a new Senior Data Engineer job for Northwind from this brief. Check it isn't already in Manatal first and show me the draft before creating it.

I checked for an existing Northwind organisation and a matching Senior Data Engineer job and found neither. The brief is missing a start date and salary range, so I've marked both 'to confirm'. Here is the draft: title, London hybrid, 2 openings, five must-have skills in the brief's own words, plus two notes on the ideal background and the interview plan. Nothing is created yet. Reply yes to create the job and both notes, or tell me what to change.

How Manatal skills work

Connect Manatal
The Manatal MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Review the pipeline for the Senior Backend Engineer job and tell me who to advance, who needs follow-up and who to close out.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Manatal skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Manatal. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Manatal MCP server connected there.

Manatal skills FAQ

What is a Manatal agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Manatal skill describes one job, which Manatal tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Manatal skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 4 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Manatal.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Manatal; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Manatal MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Manatal MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Manatal MCP setup guide covers every client.
