List the competences an employee can still be given
Lists the active competences an employee does not have yet, optionally filtered by name.
The picker list for adding a competence to an employee: every ACTIVE competence of the catalogue minus the ones the employee already has (with any value). An unknown userId simply returns every active competence. The complete list is returned (no paging), ordered by group name and then competence name.
Use it to:
- Offer the competences that can be added to an employee before calling create or batch create
Not for:
- Reading the employee's current competences —
GET /v2/employee-competences
Behaviour:
- Idempotent.
- Safe to retry.
- Changes are visible to the next read immediately.
Call first: GET /v1/user
Next: POST /v2/employee-competences, POST /v2/employee-competences/bulk
See also: GET /v2/employee-competences
