Interview feedback in Slack, LinkedIn outreach, and native MCP support

Apr 3, 2026Julian Shergill

This release adds interview feedback from Slack, LinkedIn outreach sequences, and native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for Claude and ChatGPT.

Submit interview feedback from Slack

The moment an interview ends, every interviewer gets a Slack notification to score the candidate and add notes. Everything syncs back to the candidate profile in Needle automatically.

The interview scorecard Needle posts in Slack, scoring overall recommendation, technical ability, and culture fit

LinkedIn outreach

Add sourced candidates straight to the pipeline and enroll them in an outreach sequence. Include a calendar link and they go from sourced to booked interview without you doing the back-and-forth.

Native MCP support

Needle now works inside Claude and ChatGPT on desktop and mobile. Ask it to pull every candidate in a role's pipeline and flag anyone waiting on feedback, or score an interview and add a note, from wherever your team already works.
