Submit a candidate to a job with status, rates and notes.

JobDiva API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/jobdiva.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/jobdiva/jobs/{job_id}/submittals`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates the submittal and returns its submittal_id. It records the quoted bill rate and the pay rate, and can reach the client, so check list_submittals first to avoid a second submittal for the same person. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | integer | yes | Job ID from search_jobs or get_job. |
| `candidate_id` | integer | yes | Candidate ID from search_candidates or find_candidate. |
| `status` | string | no | Submittal status as used in your JobDiva account, for example Submitted. |
| `quoted_bill_rate` | number | no | Bill rate quoted to the client. |
| `pay_rate` | number | no | Pay rate for the candidate. |
| `rate_unit` | string | no | Unit of both rates, for example hour. |
| `currency` | string | no | Currency code of both rates, for example USD. |
| `internal_notes` | string | no | Notes for your own team. |
