Overview / Description
CrustRecruiter is an AI recruiting tool that pairs Claude's reasoning with Crustdata's people dataset so recruiters can source, screen, and personalize candidate outreach from inside a single chat. It connects via MCP (Model Context Protocol), which lets Claude call Crustdata's recruiting skills directly: searching the candidate database, enriching profiles, and pulling live signals on people and companies. Crustdata's underlying dataset indexes roughly a billion people profiles and 60 million companies, with real-time alerts on job changes and other hiring signals. The split is deliberate: the language model handles judgment and memory across a search, while the data layer handles the lookup and enrichment work that recruiters normally do by hand. It is aimed at in-house recruiters, agency sourcers, and teams building AI hiring workflows who already work in a chat interface and want sourcing, enrichment, and shortlisting to run from one place instead of jumping between an ATS, a sourcing tool, and a data vendor.
