SeekOut Partner API Reference

Reference for the SeekOut Partner API, including endpoints, authentication, and integration patterns for partner applications.

SeekOut offers a traditional REST API for direct, programmatic access to talent search. The Partner API is the same engine that powers SeekOut MCP's candidate search, market analysis, and profile retrieval — but exposed as conventional HTTP endpoints for teams building custom integrations, dashboards, and automated workflows.

When to Use the Partner API vs. MCP

Use SeekOut MCP

You want recruiters, hiring managers, or developers to interact with SeekOut from inside an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) using plain English.

Use the Partner API

You're building a custom application, dashboard, scheduled job, or backend integration that needs direct, deterministic access to SeekOut's search engine without an LLM in the loop.

Core Endpoint

The /api/Search/SearchPeople endpoint is the underlying call that powers MCP's candidate search, market analysis, and profile retrieval capabilities. The Swagger reference documents the complete request parameters and response payloads.
