Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Authenticate with an API key whose owner has access to ATS settings
Call the company locations and hiring leads endpoints to obtain valid location and hiring-lead IDs to reference
POST a new job opening with required fields such as posting title, job status, hiring lead, employment type, and job description
Set the location type field to control whether a specific job location is required (on-site/hybrid) or not (remote)
Optionally configure the application-question fields (resume, address, cover letter, etc.) to shape the application form
Read the returned job opening ID from a successful response
Known gotchas
The job status field only accepts a fixed set of enum values (e.g. Draft, Open, On Hold, Filled, Canceled) — arbitrary strings are rejected
Location-type defaults differ depending on whether a job location is supplied, so explicitly set it rather than relying on defaults
A permissions-style error on this endpoint can mean either insufficient user permissions or that ATS API access isn't enabled for the account — not necessarily bad credentials
