Slash commands and skills
Ready-made commands for common recruiting tasks.
Slash commands are ready-made recipes for common recruiting tasks. Instead of writing out every step, you pick a command, fill in a few details, and the app follows a tested sequence: it checks prices first, shows you what will happen, and waits for your yes before it sends, publishes, exports or spends.
Slash commands work in apps that support MCP prompts, such as Claude, Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Goose. Type / in the message box and look for Tahoe. In apps without them, such as ChatGPT, just ask in your own words; the same tools do the same work.
The 16 slash commands
| Command | What it does | What you give it (defaults in brackets) |
|---|---|---|
/source-candidates | Turns a short brief into search filters, runs the search, shows the top 10, then offers to save people and reveal work emails within a budget. | Role. Optional: location, must-haves, how many people (20), budget in credits (10). |
/find-matches-for-job | Searches for people who match one of your jobs, starting from the job’s own description, and flags anyone who already applied. | The job. |
/screen-applicants | Reviews applicants and recommends advance, hold or reject, each with a reason. Nothing changes until you confirm. | The job. Optional: stage or status (new), how many (20). |
/candidate-brief | Writes a one-page brief for a hiring manager, with no contact details. Free, and changes nothing. | A saved person or an application. |
/write-job-post | Drafts, reviews and creates a job as a draft from a brief, a link or pasted text. Publishes only when you ask. | A brief, link or text. Optional: phone screening yes or no. |

/check-replies | Checks for replies with your own Gmail connector, then marks them in Tahoe, which stops their follow-ups. | The campaign. Optional: only activity since a date. |

/intake-to-search | Turns intake notes into a draft job, if you want one, and a candidate search. | The notes, or a link to a Google Doc or Notion page. |
Commands that cost credits use the standard rate card and always tell you the price the tool reports before spending. Credits and limits
Examples
/source-candidates with role Field Coordinator, location Columbus, Ohio, budget 10 credits
The app writes a short brief, previews the filters for free and shows them to Jordan with the price. It runs the search (2 credits) and lists the top 10 by match, without contact details. Then it offers to save the people Jordan picks (free) and to reveal their work emails, quoting first and staying within the 8 credits left of the budget.
/screen-applicants for Customer Success Manager, APAC
The app reads the new applicants, best match first, including any phone screens. It shows a table with advance, hold or reject for each person and a short reason. Nothing moves until Jordan confirms, and candidates are not emailed.
/credit-check
The app shows the balance, credits about to expire, the average spent per day and how many days that lasts, and suggests cheaper options, such as reopening searches you already paid for. It spends nothing.
Use them in Korean
Every command has a language option: en (the default) or ko. With ko, the app replies in Korean. Tahoe’s search reads English profile data, so the app searches with an English version of your request and keeps your original Korean wording alongside it.
/source-candidates with role 핀테크 시니어 PM, location 서울, language ko
The app answers in Korean, searches for senior fintech product managers in Seoul, and reports the results and the 2 credits used in Korean.
Interactive cards
In Claude (web and desktop), ChatGPT, VS Code, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Cursor and Goose, some answers appear as interactive cards instead of plain text. Buttons on a card run the same tools as a typed request, so the same prices and approval prompts apply. Apps without cards show the same information as text.
| Card | What it lets you do |
|---|---|
| Search filters | Edit the filters before a search runs. |
| Shortlist | Browse results, save people to a list, reveal contacts with the live cost, load the next page. |
| Candidate | See a person’s experience, lists, contact details and history. |
| Pipeline | Drag applicants between stages, or reject with a reason. |
| Applicant | Read the AI summary and the phone screen, with an audio player, and leave a scorecard. |
| Campaign | Review the steps, launch or pause, and see replies. |
| Job post preview | See the public job page, then publish or schedule it. |
| LinkedIn preview | Edit a post and publish it. |
| GitHub run | Watch a GitHub search progress, then browse the developers. |
| Analytics and credits | Charts of your numbers, and a link to buy credits. |
| Connect account | A one-click link when Gmail, GitHub, LinkedIn or your ATS needs connecting. |
Skills
Skills are short guides that teach your AI app good recruiting practice with Tahoe, so it makes better choices without you spelling everything out. The slash commands use them. Apps that support it read them from Tahoe automatically.

|---|---|
tahoe-sourcing | Cheap, precise candidate searches: preview first, keep filters few and sharp, load more pages only when needed. |
tahoe-outreach | Compliant Gmail sequences: a healthy mailbox, current addresses, and you decide when anything is sent. |
tahoe-applicant-review | Fair, human-led screening: AI summaries and scores are aids, and a person makes every decision. |
tahoe-job-posting | Job posts that convert and comply, from draft to review to publishing. |
tahoe-github-sourcing | Developer sourcing from public GitHub work: plan, quote, run and save. |
tahoe-credits | Spending credits safely: free quotes, ceilings and the cheapest way to get what you need. |
tahoe-reporting | Weekly hiring digests from your analytics that are safe to share. |
tahoe-ats-handoff | Clean exports to your ATS: duplicates, preview, export, then a report. |
