# Paraform MCP for hiring managers

> Connect your Paraform company account to Claude or ChatGPT, then ask about your roles, candidates, and interview feedback.

The Paraform connector lets an AI assistant read your hiring data on Paraform while you chat. Ask which candidates wait on your decision, compare a resume against the recruiter's notes, or pull the interview feedback for a candidate. The assistant answers from your live Paraform data, with links back to each candidate in Paraform.

This page is for **hiring managers and company admins** on Paraform. The connector acts as you, and it only reads. It can't move, reject, or schedule candidates, and it can't message anyone. Recruiters, see [the recruiter guide](/mcp/recruiter/overview).

<Note>
  Access is by invitation. Paraform turns on the connector for your company and for you. If you aren't invited yet, sign-in stops with an access message. Email [team@paraform.com](mailto:team@paraform.com) to ask for access.
</Note>

## Before you start

You need all of these, plus the Google account and assistant plan listed in [Before you start](/mcp/overview#before-you-start):

* A Paraform company account that belongs to **one** company.
* An invitation to the connector, and the connector turned on for your company.

## Set up

Follow [Connect](/mcp/overview#connect) to add Paraform to Claude or ChatGPT and sign in with Google. Then come back here for what you can ask.

## What the assistant can read

After you sign in, the assistant can:

* See who you are on Paraform and which company you belong to
* Read the roles you can manage
* Read the candidates you can see on those roles, including submission notes, screening answers, and resume text
* Read recorded interview stages and the scorecards you can see

The assistant sees the same data you see in the Paraform app:

* **Company admins** see all of the company's roles.
* **Other company users** see the roles they're approved for.
* Candidates and feedback follow the same visibility rules as the Paraform app.

If you are also a recruiter on Paraform, the assistant gets both sets of tools in the same connection. Each tool acts as the matching role. Recruiter access doesn't add to what you can see as a hiring manager.

## Example prompts

Each prompt works in Claude and in ChatGPT. In ChatGPT, start the message with `@Paraform`. Replace text in brackets with your own value.

| Ask | What the assistant does |
| - | - |
| Which candidates are waiting on my decision? | Lists the submissions and scheduled interviews whose end time passed, where you are the role's hiring manager and haven't decided yet |
| Summarize the active pipeline for \[role]. | Lists the candidates on that role who are submitted, interviewing, at offer, or hired |
| Does \[candidate]'s resume back up the recruiter's submission notes? | Reads the submission notes and the resume text, and points out claims the resume doesn't support |
| Show me the interview feedback for \[candidate]. | Reads the recorded interview stages and the scorecards you can see |
| Who did we reject for \[role], and what did we tell them? | Lists rejected candidates and the rejection message your company recorded |

For the full list of what the assistant can call, see [Tools](/mcp/hiring-manager/tools).

## What the connector doesn't do

* It doesn't write. It can't advance, reject, or schedule candidates, leave feedback, or send messages.
* It doesn't return interview transcripts or internal notes.
* It doesn't guess. When Paraform has no recorded feedback or rejection reason, the assistant gets no reason to report.
* It works for one company. An account that belongs to more than one company can't connect.
* It returns 20 candidates per request. Ask the assistant for the next page when it says more exist.

## Your data

* **What the assistant receives:** the Paraform data that answers your question. This can include candidate names, resume text, recruiter submission notes, and screening answers. It can include interview dates, scorecards, and rejection messages. Your assistant provider handles that data under its own terms.

For what Paraform receives, how to disconnect, and the privacy policy, see [Paraform MCP](/mcp/overview#your-data).

## Get help

* Something doesn't work: see [Troubleshooting](/mcp/hiring-manager/troubleshooting).
* Questions, access requests, and security reports: email [team@paraform.com](mailto:team@paraform.com).
