JobDiva

Integrate JobDiva with 1099Policy to automate contractor insurance, COI validation, and placement-based coverage.
Contractor-focused workflow

This guide applies to JobDiva candidate placements that are handled as independent contractor engagements. W-2 employee placements, payroll employee records, and EOR-style arrangements are out of scope.

1. Overview

Connect JobDiva candidate, job, and placement data to 1099Policy so contractor engagements can be insured or validated before work begins.

You can:

  • Bind fractional, on-demand coverage for contractor placements.
  • Automatically validate or upload Certificates of Insurance (COIs).
  • Keep compliance in sync through 1099Policy webhooks (policy.*, certificate.*).
  • Map JobDiva placement compensation to job.wage and wage_type.
  • Store JobDiva IDs in custom_metadata for reconciliation.

2. Integration Timing & Trigger

Coverage should begin when a contractor placement is created, confirmed, or updated with start-date and compensation details. In JobDiva, the Placement is the best trigger because it connects the Candidate to the Job and usually contains or references assignment dates, pay terms, and client/worksite information.

  • Primary trigger: Contractor placement created or confirmed.
  • Alternative triggers: Candidate submitted to job, placement updated, assignment start date confirmed, timesheet created, invoice created.
  • Event delivery: JobDiva webhooks where available; otherwise poll candidate, job, placement, timesheet, and invoice methods.
  • Required data: candidateId, jobId, placementId, start date, end date, compensation amount, compensation type, and work region.
JobDiva API format

JobDiva’s public API portal is organized around V2 methods, models, and webhooks rather than a simple REST-path reference. The source sections below refer to the JobDiva method families developers should use, rather than inventing endpoint paths that may vary by tenant or API package.

3. Core Concepts

Each JobDiva object maps to a corresponding 1099Policy resource so contractor coverage, COI validation, and audit trails stay aligned.

JobDiva Object1099Policy ResourceDescription
CandidateContractorRepresents the contractor; must exist before quoting coverage
Job / RequisitionJobDefines role, scope, category, and work location
Placement / AssignmentQuote + AssignmentDefines compensation and coverage window
Attachment / DocumentCertificateOptional BYO-COI validation path
Timesheet / InvoiceInvoiceOptional final remuneration record
JobDiva IDscustom_metadata.*Used for reconciliation only

4. End-to-End Implementation

Follow these steps to integrate JobDiva and 1099Policy for contractor insurance workflows.

4.1 Retrieve Candidate

Retrieve the JobDiva Candidate and create or upsert the corresponding 1099Policy Contractor. Every Contractor must include a unique email address. Generate a proxy if JobDiva does not expose one, such as <candidate_id>@relay.yourdomain.com.

JobDiva Field1099Policy ContractorNotes

countryaddress.countryOptional
stateaddress.regionOptional
phonecontact.phoneOptional if supported

Use the JobDiva V2 Candidate methods to retrieve the candidate profile, contact information, and address fields needed to create a 1099Policy Contractor.

    "jobdiva_candidate_id": "12345"
  }
}

4.2 Retrieve Job

Retrieve the JobDiva Job or Requisition and create the corresponding 1099Policy Job. The Job captures the role, category, description, work region, and estimated compensation used to price coverage.

Source: JobDiva

Use the JobDiva V2 Job methods to retrieve job or requisition details. If compensation is not available on the Job object, retrieve the Placement before creating the 1099Policy Job so the wage and wage_type are accurate.

  }
}

4.3 Retrieve Placement

Retrieve the Placement to create a Quote. The Placement is the canonical JobDiva object for coverage because it ties the Candidate to the Job and usually contains the engagement dates, compensation basis, and client/worksite context.

Use the JobDiva V2 Placement or Assignment methods to retrieve placement-level details. If your tenant uses a different label for placed candidates or assignments, map the object that establishes the Candidate ↔ Job relationship.

    "jobdiva_job_id": "job_78910",
    "jobdiva_candidate_id": "12345"
  }
}

4.4 Create Insurance Application Session

Redirect contractors to complete their first policy opt-in and bind coverage before the placement begins. This step only applies to contractors who are purchasing or activating coverage through 1099Policy for the first time.

Destination: 1099Policy (POST /apply/sessions)

http

  "custom_metadata": {
    "jobdiva_placement_id": "pl_45678"
  }
}

4.5 Create Assignment

Create an Assignment for returning contractors who have already completed the initial opt-in. The Assignment should use the same Job and Contractor created from the Candidate, Job, and Placement data.

  "coverage_type": ["general","workers-comp"],
  "custom_metadata": {
    "jobdiva_placement_id": "pl_45678"
  }
}

4.6 Upload Certificate (BYO-COI)

This independent workflow supports contractors who already have their own insurance. Upload the COI to 1099Policy for validation and tracking. Depending on your JobDiva configuration and licensed API modules, candidate attachments may or may not be available through the API. If your integration cannot retrieve the COI document directly from JobDiva, collect it through your own intake flow or request it from the contractor.

Source: JobDiva

Use candidate attachment or document methods if enabled for your JobDiva tenant.

Suggested operation: Get Candidate Attachment / Download Document, if enabled

Form fields:

  • certificate=@file.pdf
  • contractor=cn_Kh18Qs
  • custom_metadata[jobdiva_candidate_id]=12345
  • custom_metadata[jobdiva_placement_id]=pl_45678

4.7 Record Invoice (Optional)

If the contractor’s actual pay differs from the original placement estimate, record final remuneration using the Invoice API. This step is optional and does not affect coverage.

1099Policy Invoice FieldJobDiva SourceNotes

Use timesheet, invoice, or placement payroll detail methods if enabled for your JobDiva account.

  "paycycle_enddate": 1714419793
}
Unix timestamp

Use Unix seconds (UTC) for paycycle_startdate and paycycle_enddate. See the full API reference: https://docs.1099policy.com/group/endpoint-invoice

5. Webhooks

JobDiva webhooks should be used where available to react to candidate, job, placement, document, timesheet, or invoice changes. Pair JobDiva events with 1099Policy events so your compliance view stays current.

SourceEventAction

JobDivaJob created or updatedCreate or update Job mapping
JobDivaPlacement created or confirmedCreate Quote
JobDivaPlacement updatedUpdate dates or create a new Quote if needed

1099Policypolicy.activeMark contractor insured
1099Policypolicy.canceled / policy.expiredFlag coverage issue
1099Policycertificate.validatedMark COI valid
1099Policycertificate.flaggedTrigger manual review

6. Testing Checklist

Run this checklist end-to-end using a test Candidate, Job, and Placement before moving to production.

  • Candidate exists in 1099Policy as a Contractor with valid or proxy email.
  • Job created with accurate compensation, wage_type, region, and JobDiva metadata.
  • Quote created with coverage types and placement dates.
  • Application Session redirects and completes successfully.
  • Assignment aligns with placement start and end dates.
  • BYO-COI path tested independently from fractional coverage.
  • Optional invoice recorded when final remuneration differs.
  • Webhook handlers are idempotent and retry-safe.
  • Only contractor placements flow through this integration.
