DELETE /v1/job-requisitions/$external-id=ats|csod|id|12345
HTTP 1.1
Host: {your portal}.csod.com

n order to mark a job requisition invalid, just specify the status "Closed" in job requisition payload and complete a PUT operation. The target job requisition would be deemed as invalid one and would not be used in job matching.
