Why teams connect GitHub and Jobvite

Keep the people, teams, and status that GitHub and Jobvite share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in GitHub keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Jobvite is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Labels and Milestones, Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests in GitHub with Employee, Attachment, Offer, Candidate in Jobvite bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Jobvite creates or updates the matching user in GitHub within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where GitHub captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Jobvite in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • 02 Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
  • 03 Two-way sync Candidate records and their Workflow Status between Jobvite and a Postgres database so recruiting-ops teams query and update pipeline data in SQL.
  • 04 Write New Hire records into an HRIS or onboarding system the moment a candidate is marked hired, driven by Jobvite's candidate hired webhook.

Common sync patterns

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Jobvite keep the groups, queues, or projects in GitHub assigned to the right people.

Where GitHub routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Jobvite, the queues, ownership, or approvals in GitHub update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between GitHub and Jobvite

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.

GitHub objects Jobvite objects How this pairing syncs
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Offer Offer state tied to an application (extended, accepted, declined); read out for offer-acceptance reporting and written to downstream comp or HR systems. Repositories is specific to GitHub and Offer to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Candidate Read from the candidate feed (GET /candidate) and written back via POST /candidate/updateCandidates to change status, notes, and disposition on each record. Issues is specific to GitHub and Candidate to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Requisition (Job) Job openings created or updated through POST /job and read from GET /jobFeed; maps to opening tables in an ATS reporting warehouse. Pull Requests is specific to GitHub and Requisition (Job) to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases. Application Links a candidate to one requisition with its workflow state; read for pipeline reporting and status written back through the candidate update call. Commits is specific to GitHub and Application to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. Workflow Status The pipeline stage per application (Screen, Interview, Offer, Hired); updated through POST /candidate/updateCandidates to advance records. Releases is specific to GitHub and Workflow Status to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. New Hire Hired-candidate records surfaced in the candidate feed and via the candidate hired webhook; commonly written into an HRIS or onboarding tool. Workflow runs (Actions) is specific to GitHub and New Hire to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between GitHub and Jobvite

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.

GitHub Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

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

Jobvite GitHub Sub-second propagation

DetectionJobvite notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. A candidate hired webhook, configured per customer by a Jobvite rep, POSTs to a custom URL on hire/offer-accepted events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
  • Jobvite: Roughly 15 requests per minute and 850 per hour, reset at midnight Pacific, with per-endpoint daily caps (e.g. 20,000/day candidate GET/PUT, 500/day employee sync); 429 on exceed.
