Why teams connect Atlassian and Smartrecruiters

Keep the people, teams, and status that Atlassian and Smartrecruiters share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Atlassian keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Smartrecruiters is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Jira Projects, Boards and Sprints, Issue Comments, Attachments in Atlassian with Interviews, Offers, Users, Approvals in Smartrecruiters bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Smartrecruiters creates or updates the matching user in Atlassian within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Atlassian captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Smartrecruiters in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Jira projects into a SQL database for engineering throughput and SLA reporting.
  • 02 Create Jira issues from records in other systems, such as onboarding tasks generated from a closed-won CRM deal.
  • 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

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Smartrecruiters creates the matching user in Atlassian with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in Smartrecruiters, the matching account in Atlassian is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

What you can sync between Atlassian 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.

Atlassian objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Fields Instance-specific fields (customfield IDs) that carry most business-specific data in syncs. 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). Custom Fields is specific to Atlassian and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Workflows and Statuses is specific to Atlassian and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Offers Offer records tied to an Application with status, custom offer fields, and offer documents; readable and writable, commonly synced to an HRIS on hire (documents endpoint limited to 2 requests/sec). Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers. 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. Jira Issues is specific to Atlassian and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian 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.

Atlassian Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

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

Smartrecruiters Atlassian 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 written to Atlassian through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
