Depending on the consent approach which a customer chooses, the response will either contain one application
consent decision - known as "single consent" - or contain one application consent broken out by the data scopes
which the customer has subscribed to - such as SmartRecruit and SmartCRM. This is referred to as "separated consent".
Provided there is at least one pending consent request (without a decision) for a candidate, the response
contains a date and time of the most recent of such consent requests.
