Create Submission

Purpose

To create a submission record, i.e., submit a candidate to the client/hiring manager through an API request.

Submissions sub-module 

The Submissions sub-module is a sort of intermediary module that exists to store information related to each candidate submission made to Clients-contacts/Hiring Managers. When a candidate is submitted, a record is automatically created in the submissions sub-module and the client-contact's/hiring manager's review is stored within it contextually.

Request URL

https://recruit.zoho.com/recruit/v2/Submissions

Note: To create a single record, include just one JSON object in your input with the necessary keys and values.

Request Method
