HQ can call 40-plus tools that reach into Chosen. This page groups them so you know what to ask for. Remember the split: looking things up runs immediately, while anything that creates, updates, deletes, or sends is held back as a plan you approve first.
Candidates
- Search and list. Find candidates by a plain-language query, or list everyone on a job.
- Look up. Pull a candidate's full profile, their notes, their feedback.
- Create and update. Add a new candidate, or change fields — name, email, position, source, company — on an existing one.
- Notes. Add a note to a candidate, or read the existing ones.
- Resumes and imports. Attach a resume file to your message and HQ can put it on a candidate, parsed through the normal resume pipeline. Attach a spreadsheet and it can bulk-create candidates from the rows.
- Delete. Remove a candidate. This one is permanent — see the limits below.
Jobs
- List and look up. See your jobs, open or closed, and read the detail on any one.
- Create and update. Draft a new job, or edit an existing one — title, description, department, location, compensation, and more.
- Open and close. Change a job's status.
- Screening questions. Read or replace the application questions on a job.
- Descriptions. Generate or sharpen a job description with AI.
Application stages
- Connect a candidate to a job, creating an application — and remove that link.
- Move the stage. Advance or move an application through your pipeline — lead, applied, screening, interview, offer, hired, rejected, or a custom interview stage.
Feedback
- Read feedback left on a candidate.
- Add feedback with a hiring recommendation on the 1-4 scale, from Strong No Hire to Strong Hire — see match rating for how evaluation fits the rest of the picture.
Scheduling
- See interviews. This week's scheduled meetings and what's still unscheduled.
- Check availability against interviewers' connected Google Calendars.
- Create a scheduling request, which sends the scheduling email to candidates.
- Update or cancel a meeting — change its time, notes, or interviewers.
- Work the AI events queue. Review, edit, approve, or reject the AI-drafted scheduling replies.
What it can't (or shouldn't) do
HQ is genuinely capable. It is not a button for everything.
- It acts with your permissions. HQ runs as you, with your role. If your role can't delete jobs or manage the org, neither can HQ on your behalf. It's also scoped to your organization and never reaches another company's data.
- Some things are faster to click. Dragging one candidate between two columns on the board is quicker than describing it. HQ shines on searches, multi-step changes, and questions that span records — not on single actions a click already handles.
- An approved change has no one-click undo. Deleting a candidate or a job removes associated data. A sent scheduling email is sent. Review the plan before approving.
- It works from specific requests. HQ is not a mind reader. Give it the criteria, the names, the stage — good prompts get good results.
- It doesn't make the hiring decision. HQ moves data and answers questions. Whether to advance a candidate is still yours.
