Publish jobs to client-facing job boards

Use JobOrder and Public API search to publish and list approved jobs, then sync applicant submissions back into Bullhorn.

Provision and manage recruiter users

Create and update CorporateUser records via /entity/CorporateUser and automate onboarding workflows across tenant accounts.
