Overview
Starting October 2024, Merge’s updated POST /applications endpoint lets you create a job application and a candidate in your customers’ ATS platforms with just one call.
This change is 100% backward compatible — you don't need to make any changes unless you wish to.
Changes & recommendations
Before | After |
A two-step process to create an application and candidate:
| Simply call the POST /applications endpoint and include the candidate information in the body of the request
|
Recommended actions:
We strongly encourage migrating to the simplified POST /applications logic for supported integrations. Please refer to the section below for details on which integrations are included.
Migrating is optional. If you prefer to stick with the previous method, no updates are necessary, as these changes are fully backward compatible.
