Problem Description:

Hello!

I’m developing an integration between Personio and our system (via Make.com) and have encountered a few issues that cannot be resolved with the current API documentation. I’m hoping for your help or confirmation from the Personio team.

  1. The absence of certain predefined fields (such as "Salary Expectations," "Experience," "Current Employer," etc.) in API responses is an issue I’m encountering. I’m utilizing the /v2/recruiting/candidates/{id} and /v2/recruiting/applications endpoints to retrieve data about candidates and their applications. These fields are designated as standard within the system; however, they are not being returned in the API responses.
  2. No attachments (like CVs or any other docs sent by candidate, or added by manager) in API responses - I’m trying to retrieve document files related to candidate applications, but the attachments field is missing in the endpoint responses /v2/recruiting/candidates/{id} and /v2/recruiting/applications.

I would appreciate any advice, confirmation of functionality, or help with customization.

Thanks!

Hi ​@Moe!

As noted by the OP, the issue is that the Personio API doesn’t provide the needed information.

The Personio app in Make is built on your API - so we can only provide information that is provided in the API itself.
