Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and Smartrecruiters

Land the people and organization records from Smartrecruiters in Azure Synapse Analytics 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 Azure Synapse Analytics next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Applications, Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews from Smartrecruiters into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics, 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 Sync curated Synapse views into an operational Postgres or Azure SQL database that applications can query cheaply.
  • 02 Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.
  • 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

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Azure Synapse Analytics 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 Azure Synapse Analytics sync back onto the matching records in Smartrecruiters, 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 Smartrecruiters arrive in Azure Synapse Analytics as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics 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.

Azure Synapse Analytics objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. 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). Materialized views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. SQL pools is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. 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. External tables is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. 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. Views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. 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. Schemas is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Synapse Analytics 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.

Azure Synapse Analytics Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Synapse Analytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on watermark columns.

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

Smartrecruiters Azure Synapse Analytics 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 Azure Synapse Analytics as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

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.
