Create candidate
A new candidate profile with name, contact details and current position.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/manatal/candidates
write Confirm
Creates a profile in your candidate database and returns its candidate_id. It does not upload a resume and does not merge with an existing profile: check search_candidates first, and Manatal's Duplicates list under Candidates shows a repeat. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| full_name string required | string | Full name as it should appear on the profile. |
| email string | string | Email address. |
| phone string | string | Phone number. |
| current_position string | string | Current job title. |
| current_company string | string | Current employer. |
