1. Architecture & Capabilities

Jobvite exposes a REST API for jobs, candidates, applications, and related recruiting data, enabling integrations with HRIS, sourcing, and analytics tools. It supports event notifications via webhooks for candidate and application workflow updates.

When pushing parsed resume data into Jobvite, ensure your pipeline respects its core parser schema: single-column layout parsing, strict date parsing (flexible dates permitted), and file constraints (10MB maximum).

2. Authentication

All requests to Jobvite's API require secure authentication. Configure your HTTP client with the appropriate authorization header:

Authorization: Basic YOUR_ENCODED_KEY
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

3. Code Samples & Quickstart

cURL
# Fetch candidate applications or open vacancies
curl -X GET "https://api.jobvite.io/v1/candidates" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic YOUR_ENCODED_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"
Python (httpx)
import httpx

headers = {
    "Authorization": "Basic YOUR_ENCODED_KEY",
    "Accept": "application/json",
}

response = httpx.get("https://api.jobvite.io/v1/candidates", headers=headers)
candidates = response.json()
print(f"Loaded {len(candidates)} candidates from Jobvite")
TypeScript / Node.js
interface Candidate {
  id: string;
  first_name: string;
  last_name: string;
  email: string;
}

async function listCandidates(): Promise<Candidate[]> {
  const res = await fetch("https://api.jobvite.io/v1/candidates", {
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Basic YOUR_ENCODED_KEY",
      "Accept": "application/json",
    },
  });

  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Failed to fetch from Jobvite: ${res.statusText}`);
  return res.json();
}

4. Webhook Event Notifications

Jobvite supports sending outbound HTTP POST webhooks to your server when recruiting events occur:

  • candidate.created — Fired when a resume is submitted and parsed.
  • application.updated — Triggered when scorecards or stages advance.
  • job.published — Notifies job board syndication networks.
