Move a candidate to a stage
Move a candidate to another hiring stage of the same job.
MCP tool homerun_write → move_candidate_to_stage
write Confirm
Moves the candidate and returns the old and new stage. Homerun can send an email automatically when a candidate enters a stage, if your account set one up, so a move can reach the candidate. A name that is not a stage of this job fails and lists the stages. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
