Why teams connect Greenhouse and YugabyteDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: YugabyteDB and Greenhouse share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Greenhouse is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. YugabyteDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Jobs, Offers, Scorecards, Scheduled Interviews in Greenhouse need to exist as queryable Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences in YugabyteDB before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences in YugabyteDB with Jobs, Offers, Scorecards, Scheduled Interviews in Greenhouse field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Greenhouse typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • 02 Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.
  • 03 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external tools into Greenhouse and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.
  • 04 Stream Jobs, Departments, and Offices into a reporting database for recruiting funnel and time-to-fill dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Greenhouse land as queryable Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences in YugabyteDB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Jobs, Offers, Scorecards, Scheduled Interviews replicate into YugabyteDB where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between Greenhouse and YugabyteDB

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.

Greenhouse objects YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Candidates Person records with contact details, tags, and custom fields; read and written via Harvest, often created from sourcing or enrichment pipelines. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Candidates is specific to Greenhouse and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Applications Links a Candidate to a Job; carries current stage, status, and source. Movable, rejectable, and hireable through Harvest write calls. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Applications is specific to Greenhouse and Tables to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jobs Requisitions with openings, hiring team, departments, and offices; created and patched via Harvest, read out for funnel and time-to-fill reporting. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Jobs is specific to Greenhouse and Indexes to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers Offer records tied to an Application with status and custom offer fields; readable and patchable, commonly synced to HRIS on hire. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Offers is specific to Greenhouse and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scorecards Interviewer feedback and ratings tied to interviews; read-only in Harvest, exported to a warehouse for interview analytics. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Scorecards is specific to Greenhouse and Schemas to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scheduled Interviews Interview events with interviewers, times, and rooms; full create/update/delete support for calendar and reporting syncs. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Scheduled Interviews is specific to Greenhouse and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Greenhouse and YugabyteDB

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.

Greenhouse YugabyteDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionGreenhouse notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks for candidate, application, job, and interview events, plus polling list endpoints with created_after / updated_after /.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to YugabyteDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

YugabyteDB Greenhouse Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Greenhouse: Harvest enforces a per-integration limit over a rolling 10-second window (X-RateLimit-Limit, commonly 50 requests / 10s for approved integrations); responses carry X-RateLimit-Remaining and, on a 429, X-RateLimit-Reset and Retry-After.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
