Update Employee

Submit the most up to date Employee information to update their profile inside the system. Any field that is present will overwrite existing values within the system, while absent fields will be left as-is. Since the Employee resume is deleted after creating a skill profile, it is a required field for recalculating the skill profile based on the resume. If no resume is provided, the skill profile will be recalculated based on the other available properties.

Update an Employee skill profile with feedback

Provide feedback about an existing Employee skill profile to update it inside the system. The body of the feedback message replaces the existing skill profile, so if a skill is not present in the body or has weight 0, it will be removed. The feedback can contain updates (e.g. score changes or skills added through related skills / skill search) and removals. The feedback_format query parameter indicates the format in which the feedback is given (currently skills and competencies). Typically used to process insights gained from end users through a front-end application.

Update a Vacancy skill profile with feedback

Provide feedback about an existing Vacancy skill profile to update it inside the system. The body of the feedback message replaces the existing skill profile, so if a skill is not present in the body or has weight 0, it will be removed.

The feedback_format query parameter indicates the format in which the feedback is given (currently skills and competencies). Typically used to process insights gained from end users through a front-end application.

Update a Occupation skill profile with feedback

Provide feedback about an existing Occupation skill profile to update it inside the system. The body of the feedback message replaces the existing skill profile, so if a skill is not present in the body or has weight 0, it will be removed. The feedback can contain updates (e.g. score changes or skills added through related skills / skill search) and removals. The feedback_format query parameter indicates the format in which the feedback is given (currently skills and competencies). Typically used to process insights gained from end users through a front-end application.
