Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Run the OAuth2 authorization-code flow against Bullhorn's OAuth token endpoint to obtain an access token and refresh token
Call the REST login endpoint with the access token to receive a session token plus a swimlane-specific REST base URL
Send the session token on each request as documented (query string, cookie, or header)
Create the candidate by sending the entity-create request to the Candidate entity endpoint with fields such as first name, last name, and email
Capture the returned entity ID to confirm the record was created
On an authentication-expired response, use the refresh token to obtain a new session rather than repeating the full authorization flow
Known gotchas
Bullhorn's REST convention for entity creation vs. update is reversed from typical REST semantics, so consult the docs rather than assuming standard verbs
The session token expires and subsequent requests then fail until refreshed via the refresh-token flow
The REST base URL is swimlane-specific and returned at login — it is not a single fixed hostname for all accounts
