Why teams connect Dun And Bradstreet and Smartrecruiters

Flow Dun And Bradstreet data into Smartrecruiters in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Dun And Bradstreet is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Smartrecruiters, so Smartrecruiters always reflects the current state of Dun And Bradstreet — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Dun And Bradstreet 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Build target-account lists with Criteria Search and land the resulting DUNS plus firmographics in a database for outbound and TAM analysis.
  • 02 Poll D&B Monitoring notifications for a registered portfolio of key accounts and suppliers and update the CRM or warehouse record whenever a firmographic or risk score changes.
  • 03 Export Interviews and Offers to a data warehouse to analyze interviewer load, offer-acceptance rates, and hiring outcomes.
  • 04 Subscribe to the Webhooks API to react to new applications and status changes in near real time across downstream systems.

Common sync patterns

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

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

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Smartrecruiters marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Dun And Bradstreet is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

One directory of people

A person's name, title, email, phone, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so both stop maintaining separate copies of the same individual.

How changes propagate between Dun And Bradstreet 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.

Dun And Bradstreet Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dun And Bradstreet for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days).

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

Smartrecruiters Dun And Bradstreet 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.

DeliveryDun And Bradstreet does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Dun And Bradstreet's output flows back as field updates on the originating Smartrecruiters records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dun And Bradstreet: Per-contract transactions-per-second cap plus weekly/monthly/yearly quotas; exceeding TPS returns HTTP 429 with error 0045/0046 (0047 on spike arrest). Quotas reset on UTC boundaries.
  • 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.
