Using the NAS integration functionality, you can push a job from Aptem to Recruit an Apprentice as a vacancy.

Create a vacancy and upload to NAS

1. You must have the organisation set up, either previously or you can create one from within the Jobs screen.
2. 'Expected Start Date' must be after the specified application closing date.

Upload to NAS

Once you fill in the mandatory fields, you can send the vacancy using Upload to NAS option displayed on the top-right, beside the Edit job option on the top-right of your screen. 

If the job upload to NAS is successful, the Upload to NAS button will no longer appear on the Job profile page as the API does not allow administrators to duplicate job records or update an already existing Job record. 

Also note that currently, the API does not allow pulling back of applicants.
