Update a Recruitee (Tellent) candidate record via API to reflect a new pipeline stage

Steps
Generate a personal API token in Recruitee under Settings > Apps and Plugins; it inherits the creating user's permission scope.
Send requests to https://api.recruitee.com/c/{company_id}/... with an Authorization: Bearer <token> header.
Fetch the candidate with GET .../candidates/{id} to find their current placement/offer within a job pipeline.
Use PATCH .../candidates/{id} with a candidate object to update fields, confirming the exact field used to move a candidate's pipeline stage against the current API reference before relying on it.
Re-fetch the candidate afterward to confirm the stage change took effect, since PATCH responses don't always echo the full updated placement.
Known gotchas
Recruitee enforces roughly 1000 requests per minute per token — high-volume stage-sync jobs should batch and throttle.
Token permissions mirror the creating user's own access — a token from a limited-permission user can silently omit fields your integration expects.
The exact stage-move parameter has shifted across Recruitee's API history; verify it live rather than trusting older integration guides.
