Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Smartrecruiters

Land the people and organization records from Smartrecruiters in Cloudera Data Platform 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 Cloudera Data Platform next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Applications, Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews from Smartrecruiters into tables in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Cloudera Data Platform, 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 Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.
  • 02 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.
  • 03 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external sourcing tools into SmartRecruiters and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.
  • 04 Stream Jobs and Job Postings into a reporting database for requisition, funnel, and time-to-fill dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Smartrecruiters's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Cloudera Data Platform for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Cloudera Data Platform gives you a durable, queryable record of how Smartrecruiters's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. 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). Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Impala tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Kudu tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. 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. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. 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 Cloudera Data Platform and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Cloudera Data Platform for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns.

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

Smartrecruiters Cloudera Data Platform 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 Cloudera Data Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
  • 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.
