Tool reference

Transport: MCP Streamable HTTP at https://api.hireoverseas.com/mcp. No authentication. Every tool returns JSON as text.

No tool is destructive, and none moves money.

search_candidates

Inputs: roleTitle (string, required), description (string), skills (string array), minYearsExperience (integer), regions (array of ph, latam, africa; all three when omitted).

Output: count and up to 5 candidates. Each has candidateRef, firstName, headline, skills, experience (a band such as "5-8 years"), country, timezone, englishLevel, workHistory, whyMatched, resumeAvailable, introVideoAvailable and, when a video exists, introVideoUrl (expires after 24 hours).

get_candidate_resume

request_intro

Inputs: candidateRef, roleTitle, clientName (the requester's company), clientContact (the requester's work email), message (optional, up to 2000 characters).

Output: requestId, status (pending_review), bookACall (a link to book a call) and, when the candidate has an intro video, introVideoUrl (expires after 7 days). The Hire Overseas team verifies the candidate and replies to the contact email, usually within one business day.

Errors and limits

Errors come back as a tool result with isError: true and an error message. Anonymous callers are limited to 10 requests a minute and 100 a day per IP address; over the limit, tools return an error with retryAfterSeconds. Identical searches within 10 minutes return the cached result. Candidate references are only valid on this server.

Privacy

Profiles show a first name, country, timezone, skills, experience and work history by job title and industry. They never include a surname, contact details, links or employer names. Resumes are available with the same details removed. Where a candidate has recorded an intro video, the profile links to it; the video shows the candidate. Hire Overseas screens and verifies each candidate, and confirms availability and pricing, before making an introduction.
