API ReferenceCandidates

Candidates

A candidate (application) belongs to a job. All four reads here require the job to be inside the key’s workspace and claims — anything else is a 404 V1_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.

List candidates

GET /api/v1/jobs/:jobId/applications
Query paramTypeNotes

{ "status": "success", "data": { "applications": [ { "id": "app_123", "candidateName": "Jane Doe", "atsScore": 87, "jobStageId": "stage_screening", "tags": [] } ], "pagination": { "total": 128, "offset": 0, "limit": 20 }, "processingCount": 3, "pausedCount": 0 } }

processingCount is how many applications are still in the parse/score pipeline and not yet listed with final data.

Get a candidate

GET /api/v1/applications/:applicationId

Returns the full candidate under data.application — contact fields (both user-provided and resume-extracted), tags, current stage, ATS and reviewer scores, form/screening answers, and pipeline status.

Parsed resume

GET /api/v1/applications/:applicationId/resume
{ "status": "success", "data": { "resume": { "skills": [], "experience": [], "education": [] } } }

Returns { "resume": null } while parsing hasn’t completed yet.

ATS breakdown

GET /api/v1/applications/:applicationId/ats
{ "status": "success", "data": { "ats": { "score": 87, "matched": [], "missing": [], "strengths": [], "concerns": [] } } }

Returns { "ats": null } while scoring hasn’t run. Read the job’s criteria (via Get a job) alongside this to interpret the per-criterion detail.
