Why teams connect Attio and Smartrecruiters

Keep the people who own accounts in Attio in step with the workforce records in Smartrecruiters, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Attio runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Smartrecruiters. Smartrecruiters is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.

Stacksync syncs Users, Deals, Workspaces, Custom objects in Attio with Candidates, Applications, Jobs, Job Postings in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Smartrecruiters stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Attio keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
  • 02 Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
  • 03 Subscribe to the Webhooks API to react to new applications and status changes in near real time across downstream systems.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Where Smartrecruiters tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Smartrecruiters, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Attio, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Smartrecruiters records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Attio, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Smartrecruiters, their accounts and territory assignments in Attio update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

How changes propagate between Attio 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.

Attio Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionAttio notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback.

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

Smartrecruiters Attio 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 Attio through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Exceeding returns 429; responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining and concurrent-limit headers.
