Steps

  1. Determine whether you need interactive AI-agent search (SeekOut MCP) or unattended automation — as of 2026 SeekOut's primary agent-facing surface is its MCP server, backed by an API key with org-specific permissions and rate limits
  2. Request API/MCP access from SeekOut Support or your account team since there is no generally public self-serve developer portal for a broad REST API
  3. Run searches across SeekOut's talent verticals (public profiles, GitHub, academic, healthcare, ATS/internal talent, or unified) through the provisioned MCP tools or API
  4. Save sourced candidates to a SeekOut Workspace/project as you go
  5. To export candidates into an ATS, configure the relevant one-way Export/Connect integration inside the SeekOut app (e.g. Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Bullhorn) using that target ATS's own API key entered in SeekOut — not a SeekOut-issued key
  6. Confirm exported records landed correctly and check duplicate-candidate handling for the specific ATS integration used
