Ninehire, a recruitment management solution, has become the first in Korea's hiring market to launch a feature that connects its solution with external artificial intelligence (AI) tools in both directions. The structure allows the recruitment system to respond instantly when users issue natural-language commands to AI tools.
Workspear announced Tuesday that it has introduced a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration feature in its subsidiary Ninehire. Through natural-language conversations with AI tools alone, users can handle everything from querying recruitment data to editing job postings and registering applicants. The feature eliminates the inconvenience of manually transferring AI-generated results into the recruitment system one by one.
MCP is a technology that bridges conversational AI directly to data in enterprise software. Since its first release in 2024, global applicant tracking system (ATS) providers including Greenhouse, Workable, and Ashby have successively built MCP servers.
Ninehire adopted a two-way integration approach that is not tied to any specific AI company. Ninehire can be used as is from any MCP-supported AI tool, including Claude, Codex, and Gemini.
The functionality extends beyond data queries to task execution. Through prompt input, users can edit job postings, change recruitment status, register and manage applicants, conduct comparative analysis of applicants, generate interview questions, and create evaluation sheets. Analytical tasks such as resume fit analysis and recruitment funnel reporting can also be performed.
The feature is provided to enterprise-tier members and above, with dedicated MCP keys issued to workspace administrators. On the security side, encryption of communication channels and token-based authentication procedures have been applied. User-level access controls and personal information protection features will continue to be strengthened going forward.
"By implementing two-way MCP integration, we have been able to significantly enhance recruitment productivity," said Jung Seung-hyun, head of Workspear's ATS business division. "We will innovate the entire corporate recruitment process around AI and data, creating a new standard for recruitment work."
