Change candidate status
Move one candidate to a workflow stage of their job, or to a closing status such as Not Hired.
MCP tool jazzhr_write → change_candidate_status
write Confirm
Moves one candidate on one job to the stage you name. The name must match a stage or closing status of that job's workflow; an unknown name fails and the error lists the valid ones. Workflow helpers on the new stage can email the candidate or add a task, as when you move someone by hand. The call returns the previous and new stage. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
