Why teams connect Folk CRM and Smartrecruiters

Keep the people who own accounts in Folk CRM in step with the workforce records in Smartrecruiters, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Folk CRM 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.

Stacksync syncs Groups, Custom fields, Notes, Reminders in Folk CRM with Job Postings, Interviews, Offers, Users in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Smartrecruiters stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Folk CRM keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror folk groups into a reporting database to track pipeline and outreach coverage.
  • 02 Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
  • 03 Subscribe to the Webhooks API to react to new applications and status changes in near real time across downstream systems.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Smartrecruiters marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Folk CRM 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.

Where Smartrecruiters tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Smartrecruiters, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Folk CRM, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.
