Why teams connect Firebolt and Smartrecruiters

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

Stacksync syncs Approvals, Candidates, Applications, Jobs from Smartrecruiters into tables in Firebolt continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Firebolt, 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 aggregated results from Firebolt back to operational tools that need computed metrics (reverse ETL).
  • 02 Sync CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.
  • 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

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 Firebolt 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 Firebolt sync back onto the matching records in Smartrecruiters, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

What you can sync between Firebolt 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.

Firebolt objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Engines is specific to Firebolt and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. 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. Databases is specific to Firebolt and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. 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. Tables is specific to Firebolt and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. 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. External tables is specific to Firebolt and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. 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). Views is specific to Firebolt and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Aggregating indexes is specific to Firebolt and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebolt 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.

Firebolt Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.
  • 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.
