Connect Claude & ChatGPT to BrightMove

Ask your AI to find a candidate, check a job's openings or look up a client contact in BrightMove. It can create and update applicants, jobs, contacts and clients, add notes with follow-up reminders, submit applicants to jobs and log activities such as interviews. Recruiting admin gets done from the chat instead of clicking through the ATS.

Questions

What can the AI do in BrightMove?

The AI can search and read applicants, jobs, clients, client offices, contacts, submittals, activities and placements, and read applicant notes. It can create and update applicants, jobs, clients and contacts, add notes, submit applicants to jobs and log activities. It cannot delete records.

Does the AI see my BrightMove credentials?

No. Your BrightMove client ID and client secret are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with search and lookups only. Actions that change records, like updating an applicant or submitting one to a job, can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

BrightMove connects with OAuth, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own BrightMove account.

How does the AI find the right record?

BrightMove identifies applicants, jobs, clients and contacts by a GUID. The AI first searches by name or keyword across applicants, contacts, clients, offices and jobs, gets the GUID, and then uses it to read or change the record. You can simply refer to people and jobs by name.
