Option A (To send data from Recruiting Management to Onboarding) is incorrect because the EmpJob API is not used for Recruiting-to-Onboarding data transfer; other APIs (e.g., OData) handle that. Option C (To initiate the internal hire process) is incorrect because initiation is managed by process triggers, not the EmpJob API. Option D (To convert the external user to an internal hire) is incorrect because internal hires are already internal users, and the EmpJob API is not used for user conversion.
