Links a candidate to a job so they show in its pipeline.

Manatal API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/manatal.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/manatal/jobs/{job_id}/candidates/{candidate_id}/to-job`

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

Adds the candidate to the job, like Add Candidate on the job page, and returns the match_id. A candidate who is already on the job fails with a clear error, and one candidate can be on several jobs. Use move_candidate_stage to place the match in a stage. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `candidate_id` | integer | yes | Candidate ID from search_candidates. |
| `job_id` | integer | yes | Job ID from search_jobs. |

## Request

```bash
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/manatal/jobs/3107/candidates/48213/to-job \

```

**Python**

```python
result = client.call("manatal", "add_candidate_to_job", {"candidate_id":48213,"job_id":3107})
```

**Node.js**

const result = await cotlet.call('manatal', 'add_candidate_to_job', {"candidate_id":48213,"job_id":3107});
```

cotlet call manatal add_candidate_to_job --data '{"candidate_id":48213,"job_id":3107}'
```

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
