Why teams connect Bill and Smartrecruiters

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Bill and Smartrecruiters share consistent in real time, so the finance system and the people system stop drifting apart.

Bill runs the money side of the company: who gets paid, what it costs, and which part of the business the cost belongs to. Smartrecruiters runs the people side: who works here, which team they sit in, and how their employment changes over time. The two overlap on the same people and the same org structure, because every employee is also a payee and every department is also a cost center. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a new hire, a transfer, or a termination has to be keyed twice, and the two systems start to disagree about who is active and where the cost lands.

Stacksync syncs Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos in Bill with Candidates, Applications, Jobs, Job Postings in Smartrecruiters bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, updated, or deactivated on either side appears on the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most when money follows a people event. A hire that finance can pay, a leaver whose access ends, a transfer that redirects cost to the right team, all happen from one change instead of two, so headcount and spend reconcile from the same set of records.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 02 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
  • 03 Stream Jobs and Job Postings into a reporting database for requisition, funnel, and time-to-fill dashboards.
  • 04 Export Interviews and Offers to a data warehouse to analyze interviewer load, offer-acceptance rates, and hiring outcomes.

Common sync patterns

People-driven costs land in finance

Compensation, reimbursements, or other costs tied to a person on the Smartrecruiters side flow into Bill for posting, so the books reflect what people actually cost without manual re-entry.

New person becomes a known record in finance

When someone is added in Smartrecruiters, a matching employee or payee record appears in Bill, ready for payroll, expenses, or cost allocation without anyone rekeying the details.

One employee identity

A person's name, ID, or contact details corrected in either system update the other, so finance and HR reference the same person instead of maintaining two versions.

What you can sync between Bill 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.

Bill objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. 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. Payments is specific to Bill and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. 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). Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. 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). Vendor Credits and Credit Memos is specific to Bill and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Bills is specific to Bill and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Vendors is specific to Bill and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill 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.

Bill Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
  • 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.
