Why teams connect Apache Druid and Smartrecruiters

Land the people and organization records from Smartrecruiters in Apache Druid as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Smartrecruiters can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Smartrecruiters is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Apache Druid next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Applications, Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews from Smartrecruiters into tables in Apache Druid continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Apache Druid, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Smartrecruiters where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.
  • 02 Feed operational records into Druid via batch ingestion so analysts get interactive slice-and-dice on fresh data.
  • 03 Two-way sync Candidates and Applications with Postgres so recruiting-ops apps read and update hiring status, tags, and custom fields in SQL while recruiters keep working in SmartRecruiters.
  • 04 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external sourcing tools into SmartRecruiters and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.

Common sync patterns

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Apache Druid gives you a durable, queryable record of how Smartrecruiters's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Apache Druid sync back onto the matching records in Smartrecruiters, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Smartrecruiters

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Apache Druid objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Datasources is specific to Apache Druid and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Segments is specific to Apache Druid and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Candidates Person records with contact details, tags, attachments, custom properties, and consent; created, updated, and searched via the Candidates API, often populated from sourcing or enrichment pipelines. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Applications Links a Candidate to a Job and carries the current hiring status and source; created and advanced through statuses (screening, interview, offer, hired, rejected) via the Application API. Metrics is specific to Apache Druid and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Jobs Requisitions (positions) with openings, departments, locations, and hiring team; created, patched, and read out for requisition and time-to-fill reporting via the Jobs API. Ingestion Supervisors is specific to Apache Druid and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Job Postings Job ads and publications pushed to the career site and job boards; created and managed via the job publication endpoints (rate-limited to 2 requests/sec). Lookups is specific to Apache Druid and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and Smartrecruiters

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Apache Druid Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Druid for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Smartrecruiters through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Smartrecruiters Apache Druid Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartrecruiters notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks API — subscribe to events (new application, candidate updated, status changed) delivered with a signing secret and retrievable callback logs.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Druid as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Druid: No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity.
  • Smartrecruiters: Per API credential: most endpoints allow up to 10 requests/sec (job publication and offer documents 2/sec), plus a concurrency limiter of up to 8 simultaneous requests (GET /candidates capped at 1). Exceeding returns 429; responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining and concurrent-limit headers.
