Lusha Talent Sourcing

Lusha Talent Sourcing is Lusha's own plugin for recruiters and talent acquisition teams. It connects your agent to Lusha's candidate data through a recruiting MCP server of its own, separate from the general Lusha MCP, and adds three skills that walk the agent through a sourcing workflow rather than a single search: source candidates for a role, keep a saved list current, and find who is in play after a leadership change. What you can do with it - Describe a role or paste a job description, and get an ordered shortlist of candidates who fit it and have been in their job long enough to be open to a move, each with a reason to approach them now - Search by role, seniority, department, location, current and previous employer, and certifications - Come back to a saved candidate list and see only what changed: who moved, who was promoted, who newly crossed the tenure threshold and what happened at their employer - Find the people one level below an executive who just left or was replaced, each traced to the dated event - Use employer news, such as headcount cuts, as a reason to reach out - Save candidates to a list without revealing anything, then open emails or phone numbers only for the candidates you choose How it's different from Lusha MCP Lusha MCP is for sales and go-to-market teams, with prospecting tools. Lusha Talent Sourcing is built for recruiting: its tools have recruiter names such as talent_search and candidate_profile, a search returns candidates first, and contact details stay hidden until you choose who to reveal. How it connects - Install it in Gemini CLI with gemini extensions install https://github.com/lusha-oss/lusha-mcp-talent-sourcing-plugin. Lusha's repo also packages it for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and VS Code Copilot. - It connects to Lusha's recruiting server at mcp-hr.lusha.com. You sign in to your Lusha account with OAuth the first time. Good to know - It needs a Lusha account with API access and Lusha's recruiting tools turned on for it. Search and list tools work without revealing contact details. - Calls use the same Lusha credits as the rest of your Lusha usage. The skills ask a few scoping questions and say what a step will cost before spending: Lusha's reference puts an email at 1 credit and a phone number at 5, and reading back a saved list costs 1 credit per 25 rows. - Ordering a shortlist uses only free fields, so it never spends credits.
