SmartRecruiters + Memtro

Ask SmartRecruiters where a candidate is in the process for a role.

Connect SmartRecruiters with an API key and Memtro reads jobs by title, status or city, candidates with tags, rating and every job they applied to, each application's status history, hiring team reviews and the company's users. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. When asked, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can tag and review candidates, move them through statuses, where a rejection or hire may email them, create jobs and publish them to career pages and job aggregators, schedule interviews, and permanently delete a candidate or an application.

In Memtro

What you can do with SmartRecruiters in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right SmartRecruiters tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Jobs by title words, status, posting status, department or city, newest first
  2. 02Candidates by keyword, job, status or tag, with email, city, tags, rating and main application
  3. 03One candidate's applications to every job, and how each moved through statuses with dates
  4. 04Reviews of a candidate for a job with rating and comment, and the company's users
  5. 05When asked and granted, tags or reviews candidates, creates or corrects them, moves them to a new status, which may email them on rejection or hire, schedules interviews, or permanently deletes a candidate or an application
  6. 06When asked and granted, creates draft jobs, changes their status or internal note, manages the hiring team, and publishes a job publicly to career pages and job aggregators or takes it down

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in SmartRecruiters. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Add tags to a candidate (existing tags are kept)
  2. 02Record a 1 to 5 review of a candidate for a job, as a named reviewer
  3. 03Move a candidate to a new status on a job (rejection or hire may email them, per the account's automation)
  4. 04Create a candidate, on a job or in the talent pool
  5. 05Correct a candidate's name, email, phone or location
  6. 06Delete a candidate, or their application to one job (permanent)
  7. 07Create a draft job
  8. 08Change a job's status (sourcing, on hold, filled, cancelled...)
  9. 09Publish a job to career pages and job aggregators, or unpublish it
  10. 10Replace a job's internal note
  11. 11Add a user to a job's hiring team, or remove them
  12. 12Schedule an interview for a candidate, or delete one made through the API

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with SmartRecruiters for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. SmartRecruiters signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once SmartRecruiters is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

SmartRecruiters logoSmartRecruiters + Memtro
  • Where is Priya Nair in the process for the product designer role?

  • Which jobs in the London office are still open?

  • What did the hiring team rate the shortlisted candidates for data engineer?

  • How many candidates applied to the support lead job this month?

  • Move Dan Fletcher to interview for the data engineer job

01

Before the debrief

Before the panel debrief the hiring manager asks how far Priya Nair has got for the product designer role. Memtro reads her status history and the reviews: she moved to interview on 3 March, with two reviews of 4 and one of 5.

02

Opening a role

Laura Bennett, head of people at Northwind, asks Memtro to put the approved support lead job live. Memtro publishes its ad publicly, on the company's career pages and to free job aggregators as she asked, and moves the job to sourcing, which the hiring team sees.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in SmartRecruiters?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add tags to a candidate (existing tags are kept); record a 1 to 5 review of a candidate for a job, as a named reviewer; move a candidate to a new status on a job (rejection or hire may email them, per the account's automation); create a candidate, on a job or in the talent pool; correct a candidate's name, email, phone or location; delete a candidate, or their application to one job (permanent); create a draft job; change a job's status (sourcing, on hold, filled, cancelled...); publish a job to career pages and job aggregators, or unpublish it; replace a job's internal note; add a user to a job's hiring team, or remove them; schedule an interview for a candidate, or delete one made through the API. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a SmartRecruiters connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my SmartRecruiters data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect SmartRecruiters?+

API key. In SmartRecruiters open Settings → Administration → Credential Manager. Only a user with Administrator access can create a credential.

Can SmartRecruiters start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with SmartRecruiters for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
