Protocol v0.1.0-alpha

HIRE AT THE SPEED OF SILICON.

An autonomous agent sources candidates, runs personalized outreach and technical screens, and advances them end-to-end. You only step in to approve.

Agent-first · let yours do the setup

HireBrain is an MCP server. Paste one prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any agent, it connects, signs you in through the browser, and starts on your campaigns.

Connect to HireBrain over MCP. The server is https://hirebrain.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP with OAuth: open the sign-in page in my browser and wait for me to approve). Then read https://hirebrain.io/skill.md, follow it, and start by calling pipeline_status to tell me how my campaigns are doing.

Prefer talking? Start with a quick voice call and we'll draft the campaign for you.

For agents

Use HireBrain from your agent.

The whole product is an MCP server, and this dashboard is one client of it. Point your own agent at the endpoint and it gets the same tools on the same campaigns: launch a role, follow the funnel, answer the agent's questions, meet the candidates it introduces and make the call.

    plan redrawn, sourcing restarts on the new requirement

    hire recorded, the candidate gets the news

A working example, simulated

The Protocol

Four autonomous stages. One pipeline that never sleeps.

01

Sourcing

The agent scans the talent pool for engineers matching the target stack and scores every profile against your job description.

02

Personalized Outreach

Drafts and sends outreach referencing each candidate's actual work, no copy-paste templates.

03

Technical Assessment

Issues a calibrated coding task per role, evaluates the submission and forwards only candidates above the bar.

04

Human Approval

Everything pauses at final review. You see the full evidence trail and make the only call that matters.

The Economics

Prepaid credits, spent only on work actually done. Top up in packs of 25, 100, 500 when you need to; run out and the agent pauses instead of billing you.
