Change candidate status
Move one candidate to a workflow stage of their job, or to a closing status such as Not Hired.
PATCH https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/jazzhr/jobs/{job_id}/candidates/{candidate_id}/status
write Confirm
Moves one candidate on one job to the stage you name. The name must match a stage or closing status of that job's workflow; an unknown name fails and the error lists the valid ones. Workflow helpers on the new stage can email the candidate or add a task, as when you move someone by hand. The call returns the previous and new stage. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters

|---|---|---|
| candidate_id string required | string | Candidate ID from list_candidates. |
| job_id string required | string | Job ID from list_jobs. |
| status string required | string | Stage or closing status name from list_workflow_stages. |
