The essential first step of any flow with the Skill Engine API is creating the Entities within the system. First, a Job Family needs to be created. In order to create a Job Family, send over the Job Family information to the /job_architecture/job_families endpoint. Job Family information can contain a non-required job_family_group field. This field can be used if your organization has a hierarchical structure with Job Families grouped into higher level groups. After this creation, you can add Jobs to this Job Family by sending over the Job Information to the /job_architecture/jobs endpoint. The Job is added to the Job Family by providing the Job Family ID in the body of the request. If a Job would not fit any Job Family, it can be created without a Job Family ID.

​
Example

If the Job Family with ID 101 is created, the Job with ID 1 can be added to this Job Family by sending the following request: 
{
  "external_id": 1,
  "job_name": "Frontend Developer",
  "job_family_id": "101"
}
