Move a group of candidates of one job to a stage or closing status in one pass.

JazzHR MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/jazzhr.md

MCP tool: `jazzhr_write → bulk_change_status`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Does what the Bulk Actions button does with Change Status on: the same new status for every candidate listed. A candidate who is not on the job is reported and left out. Workflow helpers on the target stage can email the group, so check the stage first. The call returns how many were moved and which were not. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | string | yes | Job ID from list_jobs. |
| `status` | string | yes | Stage or closing status name from list_workflow_stages. |
| `candidate_ids` | array | yes | Candidate IDs from list_candidates, all on this job. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
