Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_top_candidatesA | Search Activate Talent's pre-vetted Top Candidates by role, skill, or tool (e.g. 'media buyer', 'Klaviyo', 'shopify developer'). Returns up to 25 results with public fields only: first name + last initial, role title, category, profile URL. Use |
| list_categoriesA | List every Top Candidates category with its slug, display name, and browse URL. Call this first when you need a valid |
| match_roleA | Turn a role brief into a ranked shortlist. Pass a one-line brief with must-haves and no client names (e.g. 'Meta + TikTok media buyer for DTC skincare'). Runs 1–3 searches, merges and dedupes them, and returns candidates with why-fit lines based ONLY on the public role title and category. Use this first for sourcing requests; tell the recruiter to verify fit on the profile. |
| get_candidate_linkA | Build a candidate's public profile URL from |
| draft_candidate_pitchA | Draft a short, value-first candidate endorsement for the sender to review. Pass a generic |
| get_top_candidate_profile_urlA | Deprecated alias of get_candidate_link, kept for older configs. Prefer get_candidate_link. Returns the URL only and never fetches it. |

Scored across 6 tools
get_top_candidate_profile_url is explicitly a deprecated alias of get_candidate_link, giving two tools nearly identical purposes. search_top_candidates and match_role also overlap, both returning candidate shortlists, though match_role is clearly positioned as the higher-level sourcing entry point.
All six names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_, list_, search_, match_, draft_). Verb choices map predictably to the action performed, with no mixed conventions.
Six tools is well-scoped for a candidate-sourcing workflow: discover categories, search/match candidates, build profile links, and draft a pitch. Each tool has a plausible role, aside from one deprecated alias.
The surface covers the core sourcing lifecycle: category discovery, search, ranked matching, link generation, and pitch drafting. The absence of a candidate-detail fetch appears deliberate (fetching triggers an AI resume read), so it is a minor, documented gap rather than a dead end.
