Why teams connect Google Cloud Platform and Smartrecruiters

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

Stacksync syncs Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews, Offers from Smartrecruiters into tables in Google Cloud Platform continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Google Cloud 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 Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.
  • 02 Stream Jobs and Job Postings into a reporting database for requisition, funnel, and time-to-fill dashboards.
  • 03 Export Interviews and Offers to a data warehouse to analyze interviewer load, offer-acceptance rates, and hiring outcomes.

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Google Cloud Platform sync back onto the matching records in Smartrecruiters, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Smartrecruiters arrive in Google Cloud Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

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

What you can sync between Google Cloud 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.

Google Cloud Platform objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Pub/Sub topics Event streams used to move change events between systems in near real time. 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. Pub/Sub topics is specific to Google Cloud Platform and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore documents Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. 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. Firestore documents is specific to Google Cloud Platform and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Spanner tables Strongly consistent relational tables accessed via SQL for transactional workloads. 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). Spanner tables is specific to Google Cloud Platform and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
BigQuery datasets Namespaces that group tables; syncs target tables within a dataset. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. BigQuery datasets is specific to Google Cloud Platform and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. 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). BigQuery tables is specific to Google Cloud Platform and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cloud SQL databases Managed Postgres, MySQL, and SQL Server instances synced like ordinary relational databases. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Cloud SQL databases is specific to Google Cloud Platform and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud 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.

Google Cloud Platform Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Cloud Platform pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Cloud Platform: Quotas are set per service and per project; BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL each enforce their own 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.
