In case of https://api.vacatures.co/api/mp/v1/jobs/check you will not receive the job collection back. It will however check the input of the request and will give the same error responses as the https://api.vacatures.co/api/mp/v1/jobs route in case of errors. Ideal for debugging and testing the creation of jobs with the API.
