Manatal Bundle

Matches, notes, and pipeline exports—with Claude as a second opinion on fit. This bundle connects Claude Code to Manatal so you search candidates with native list filters, score people on jobs via match notes (a Claude rubric that complements Manatal’s native AI scoring), write structured feedback to candidate or match notes, export matches to Excel, create jobs from intake notes, bulk-update candidates, and generate match-centric reports.

Why this bundle exists

Teams want both vendor AI and their own hiring bar expressed in plain language. Manatal’s Open API powers operational scale; these skills add repeatable scoring narratives, bulk exports, and spreadsheet round-trips your TA ops can version in git—not only in-browser views.

How you benefit

• Transparent rubrics — Claude scoring writes to match notes so humans see why someone ranked high or low beside native scores.
• Pipeline workbooks — export-pipeline hydrates candidates and jobs for hiring-manager reviews and finance.
• Safer bulk changes — update-candidate supports --dry-run before PATCHing many rows.

Example prompts

When Claude has access to Manatal through this bundle’s API integration (with your keys and project configured), you can ask in plain language—for example:

• Search candidates in Singapore for backend roles and export matches for job 88 with match notes I can scan.
• Score matches on that job against this rubric and write match notes that complement our native Manatal scores.
• Export the match pipeline with hydrated candidate and job rows for the hiring manager’s offline review.
• Bulk-update candidate fields from this spreadsheet after validating the dry-run.

Full power (easy to miss)

• Manatal Open API often requires Enterprise plan or higher—confirm subscription before purchase (subscription settings).
• create-job requires an organization id (map from department)—the skill is honest about prerequisites so you do not get silent partial creates.
• Chain: search → score on job → export matches → narrative report for weekly pipeline hygiene.

What you get

Digital download: a ZIP you unzip into your project. You keep instant access after purchase.

Included skills

Skill	What it does
search-candidates	Multi-wave search using GET /candidates/ query filters; optional job pipeline context via matches
score-candidates	Score candidates on a job via matches; writes match notes (Claude rubric — complements native Manatal AI scoring)
write-feedback	Structured interview feedback → candidate or match note (info)
export-pipeline	Export matches with hydrated candidate and job rows to Excel
create-job	POST /jobs/ from intake notes (requires organization id — map from department)
update-candidate	Bulk PATCH /candidates/{id}/ from CSV/Excel with --dry-run
generate-report	Match-centric metrics + Claude narrative

How it works

1. Unzip the bundle into your Claude Code project.
2. Add MANATAL_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to a shared .env at the project root.
3. Ask Claude in plain English — e.g. "Search for senior backend engineers in Singapore, score them against this brief for job 123, export the pipeline to Excel."

Requirements

• MANATAL_API_KEY — Open API token from Manatal.
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — for Claude API access.
• Enterprise plan or higher — Manatal Open API access is not available on all paid tiers. Verify at https://app.manatal.com/settings/subscription before purchase.

API reference

Official documentation: Manatal Open API (v3 base URL https://api.manatal.com/open/v3).
