JobAdder MCP Integration

Connect JobAdder to AI

Prepare for meetings, log activities and add candidates to jobs from Claude, with every action recorded against the consultant who made it.

Already running for a specialist recruitment agency's consultants. We host the connection and build the workflows around how your desks work.

What We Build

Built Around How Your Consultants Work

We build workflows like these with your team, because they don't come with the MCP connection alone.

  1. Meeting Preparation

    A briefing before each client or candidate meeting, drawn from the JobAdder record: the contact, their history, open jobs and recent activity.

  2. Meeting Notes Into JobAdder

    After the meeting, notes, actions and follow-ups are drafted and logged on the right contact, once the consultant has checked them.

  3. Activity That Reports Correctly

    Client meetings are logged as activities on your own JobAdder templates, not loose notes, so your team's KPI reporting stays accurate.

  4. Candidates Added to Jobs

    Add a candidate to a job from the conversation, with the consultant approving the change before anything is written to JobAdder.

  5. Summaries From the Record

    Candidate summaries, shortlists and client updates drafted from the JobAdder record and your templates, for the consultant to finish.

How It Fits Together

Connection, Skills and Workflows

We build around what your team knows: which activity to log, what a good briefing looks like and how client updates should read.

The MCP Connects

Your AI tool reaches JobAdder through its API, with each consultant signed in as themselves. We host the connection and maintain it.

The Skills Guide

Your activity templates, logging rules and house style are written into skills, so every consultant logs the same way.

The Workflows Coordinate

One conversation runs from meeting preparation to the logged activity, and the consultant approves each change.

The Connection

What the MCP Supports

What's available depends on your JobAdder setup, region and permissions, and the actions we agree to switch on.

Explore AI for Recruitment
Candidates and Jobssearch and read the record

Search and read candidates, jobs, applications and placements, so a briefing or summary starts from what JobAdder already holds.

Companies and Contactsclient history in one place

Read companies and contacts with their recent activity and notes, so a consultant walks into each client meeting prepared.

Activities and Noteslogged to your own templates

Log activities and notes against the right record, using your JobAdder activity templates and the rules your team agrees.

Job Applicationsadd a candidate to a job

Add a candidate to a job from the conversation. Your JobAdder permissions apply, and the consultant approves the change first.

Per-consultant Sign-Inactions attributed to the person

Each consultant connects with their own JobAdder login, so every action is recorded against the person who made it, not a shared account.

Hosted and Controlledapproval before any write

We host the connection. Write actions ask the consultant to approve them, and we agree with you which actions are switched on.

Who It's For

Built for Recruitment on JobAdder

For agencies that run their desks in JobAdder.

  1. Specialist Recruitment

    Consultants who run their week in JobAdder and want the admin around each client and candidate meeting done once, properly.

  2. Executive Search

    Research-heavy briefs, long candidate lists and detailed client updates, drafted from the record for a consultant to review.

  3. Growing Agencies

    More consultants logging the same way, so handovers hold up and nobody has to chase missing notes after a meeting.

  4. Agency Leaders

    Activity logged consistently on your own templates, so the KPI reporting you run the business on can be trusted.

Practical Questions

Connecting JobAdder, Workflows and Support

JobAdder is a trademark of its owner, and ELab AI is an independent provider not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by JobAdder.

What is a JobAdder MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools use data and tools from other systems. A JobAdder MCP gives an AI tool such as Claude access to JobAdder records and actions, within the permissions you set.

Is this an official JobAdder product?

No. It's ELab AI's independently built and hosted integration, which reads and writes through the JobAdder API. It already runs in production for a specialist recruitment agency.

Does each consultant sign in separately?

Yes. Each consultant connects with their own JobAdder login, so every action is recorded against the person who made it rather than a shared account.

Can the AI change JobAdder without anyone checking?

Write actions, such as logging an activity or adding a candidate to a job, ask the consultant to approve them first. We agree with you which actions are switched on.

Does it work with our own activity templates?

Yes. We configure the logging rules around your templates. For one agency we work with, client meetings are always logged as activities, not notes, so their KPI reporting stays accurate.

Which AI tools does it work with?

It is built and running in Claude. ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot also support MCP connections, and we confirm the setup for your workspace during scoping.

How is candidate and client information handled?

The connection uses the JobAdder API with each consultant's authorised access. We agree storage, access, retention and AI provider settings with you before connecting any data, in line with your privacy obligations.

What does it cost?

Each implementation has a fixed fee for the agreed scope, rather than a published subscription. The fee depends on your team size, workflows and support. We confirm hosting and other ongoing costs before you commit.
