Why teams connect Apache Pinot and Lever

Land the people and organization records from Lever in Apache Pinot as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Lever 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 Lever is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Apache Pinot next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Users, Stages, Feedback, Interviews from Lever into tables in Apache Pinot continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Apache Pinot, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Lever 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 Serve user-facing analytics from Pinot while syncing daily rollups to finance and ops tools.
  • 02 Keep upsert-enabled real-time tables aligned with mutable operational records streamed from source systems.
  • 03 Write enriched Sources, Tags, and Contact data back onto Opportunities from an outbound sourcing pipeline.
  • 04 Two-way sync Opportunities and their Stages between Lever and a Postgres database so recruiting ops and analysts query the pipeline in SQL while recruiters keep working in Lever.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for planning and audit

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

Write-back of computed values

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

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Lever arrive in Apache Pinot as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

What you can sync between Apache Pinot and Lever

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 Pinot objects Lever objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The queryable unit, defined as offline, real-time, or hybrid; the main read target. Feedback Interview feedback and scorecard forms attached to Opportunities; created via POST /opportunities/:id/feedback and consolidated into a warehouse for interviewer analytics. Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Feedback to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Column definitions (dimensions, metrics, time columns) mapped during integration setup. Interviews Scheduled interview panel events with times and interviewers; read for scheduling reporting and time-to-hire metrics, and creatable via the panels endpoint. Schemas is specific to Apache Pinot and Interviews to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Immutable data files that batch ingestion uploads and the cluster serves. Notes and Contacts Free-text Notes on Opportunities plus the underlying Contact (person) that dedupes multiple Opportunities; notes are posted via POST /opportunities/:id/notes and contact-level tags, sources, and links can be added back for attribution. Segments is specific to Apache Pinot and Notes and Contacts to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Real-time Tables Tables fed continuously from streams like Kafka, including upsert-enabled tables. Opportunities The core pipeline record for a candidate applying to a role; replaced the deprecated Candidates endpoint. Created via POST /opportunities and updated (stage, archive, links, tags, sources, files) through the API, and synced two-way with a database or HRIS. Real-time Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Opportunities to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offline Tables Batch-loaded tables merged with real-time data at query time. Postings Job posting records with categories, apply URLs, workplace type, and requisition codes. Can be created via POST /postings and read into a warehouse for open-role reporting. Offline Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Postings to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Inverted, range, and star-tree indexes that determine which sync queries run at low latency. Requisitions Headcount/requisition records with custom requisition fields, tied to Postings; read via GET /requisitions and synced to an HRIS to reconcile approved headcount against open roles. Indexes is specific to Apache Pinot and Requisitions to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Pinot and Lever

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 Pinot Lever Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Pinot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes.

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

Lever Apache Pinot Sub-second propagation

DetectionLever notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for candidate and application lifecycle events (applicationCreated, candidateStageChange, candidateArchiveStateChange, candidateHired,.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Pinot: No fixed API quotas; query throughput depends on broker and server sizing.
  • Lever: 10 requests/second per API key with a token-bucket burst to ~20/s; POSTs that create candidates/applications are throttled to roughly 2/second. Sustained overage returns 429 with Retry-After. List endpoints are cursor-paginated at up to 100 records per page.
