Recent updates to POST /applications and supported integrations

Updated over a week ago

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:

  1. Create a candidate via POST /candidates

  2. Create an application via POST /applications and associate the created candidate with the application within the request

Simply call the POST /applications endpoint and include the candidate information in the body of the request

  • If the candidate does not exist, Merge will create one

  • If a candidate does exist, Merge will attach an application to the existing candidate

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.
