October 15, 2026

(2)

• Published a Delayed publishing guide in English and Japanese for agencies that review a client's job before job seekers see it. It covers enabling the hold in Partner Console, reviewing the held job, publishing it with publishSourcedJobPostings, and the fact that each new update from the client's ATS holds the job again.
• Updated the rejected jobs examples with the status input that rejection messages require, since messagingTagMatches returns empty without it.

Documentation

(1)

• Clarified on JobPostStatus that a HIDDEN global status overrides a higher per-surface status such as ORGANIC.

September 30, 2026

New

(1)

• Added a rejected jobs section to the Job Update API guide. Request statusCommunication on surfaceStatuses in a findEmployerJobsPartner call to see why a job was rejected, then fix the issue and resubmit.

Documentation

(2)

• Clarified in the seat management guide that each seat must be a real work location, not a way to advertise in markets where the job is not based.
• Fixed the clearSeats description in the same guide: it expires agency-created seats, but only removes updates from ATS-created seats.

September 15, 2026

New

(1)

• Documented the jobRequisitionId filter for findEmployerJobsPartner in the Job Update API guide and agency scenarios. Pass the value exactly as externalPostingMetadata.jobRequisitionId returns it. Matching is case-insensitive and does not trim whitespace. Requisition IDs are not unique, so the filter can return more than one job.

Documentation

(1)

• Corrected the documented default for jobFeedType. When the filter is omitted, the query returns only INTEGRATED_FROM_PARTNER. Set jobFeedType to retrieve crawled or hosted jobs.
