Why teams connect Jdbc and Smartrecruiters

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

Smartrecruiters is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Jdbc is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Users, Approvals, Candidates, Applications in Smartrecruiters need to exist as queryable Primary keys & indexes, Schemas & catalogs, Stored procedures & functions, Sequences in Jdbc 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 Primary keys & indexes, Schemas & catalogs, Stored procedures & functions, Sequences in Jdbc with Users, Approvals, Candidates, Applications in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Smartrecruiters 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 Incrementally sync a high-volume table by polling an updated_at or auto-increment column, keeping a downstream store fresh without full reloads.
  • 02 Consolidate several databases from different vendors into one relational store by syncing each through its own JDBC driver.
  • 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

Reporting and analytics on current data

Users, Approvals, Candidates, Applications replicate into Jdbc where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Smartrecruiters stay consistent in Jdbc, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Jdbc write onto the matching record in Smartrecruiters where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between Jdbc 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.

Jdbc objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Views Stored SELECT queries exposed like tables; read-only projections synced outbound when raw base tables should not be exposed downstream. 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 Jdbc and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Per-table fields with data types, nullability, and defaults; enumerated via DatabaseMetaData.getColumns to auto-generate and type-check field mappings. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Columns is specific to Jdbc and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary keys & indexes Key and index definitions read via DatabaseMetaData; the primary key is required for reliable upserts, and indexes on the cursor column keep incremental polling fast. 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). Primary keys & indexes is specific to Jdbc and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas & catalogs Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema/catalog and lists its objects from the JDBC metadata to build the sync. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Schemas & catalogs is specific to Jdbc and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures & functions Server-side routines callable via JDBC CallableStatement; invoked for custom read or write logic when a table-level mapping is not enough. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Stored procedures & functions is specific to Jdbc and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Server-generated identity values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose keys are assigned by the database rather than the source system. 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. Sequences is specific to Jdbc and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jdbc 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.

Jdbc Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Jdbc for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Jdbc: No SaaS-style request quota. Throughput is bounded by the target database's max connections and connection-pool size, plus the CPU and I/O it shares with production queries, so heavy syncs can contend with live workloads.
  • 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.

How the Jdbc and Smartrecruiters connectors work

Jdbc

Integration surface
JDBC API (java.sql / javax.sql) executing SQL through a JDBC driver, typically a pure-Java Type 4 driver; reaches any relational database with a driver - PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, and others - via a JDBC URL such as jdbc:postgresql://host:5432/db.
Authentication
A database user's username and password supplied in the JDBC connection (DriverManager or a DataSource), typically over a TLS/SSL-encrypted connection. Some drivers add Kerberos, integrated Windows auth, or cloud IAM-token auth, but the available methods depend on the target database and its driver.
Change detection
No native change feed. Incremental sync polls a cursor column - an updated_at timestamp or an auto-incrementing key - to pull new and changed rows; detecting deletes needs soft-delete flags or database triggers writing to a shadow table. No webhooks.
Capabilities

Rate limits
No SaaS-style request quota. Throughput is bounded by the target database's max connections and connection-pool size, plus the CPU and I/O it shares with production queries, so heavy syncs can contend with live workloads.

Smartrecruiters

Integration surface
SmartRecruiters REST APIs (SmartAPIs) on api.smartrecruiters.com — Candidates, Application, Jobs, Interviews, Offers, Users, Approvals, plus a Webhooks API for event subscriptions
Authentication
X-SmartToken API key header for a customer's own integration (grants full company access, no scopes or expiry), or OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow for partner and Marketplace apps with user-scoped permissions
Change detection
Webhooks API — subscribe to events (new application, candidate updated, status changed) delivered with a signing secret and retrievable callback logs; otherwise poll list endpoints with updated-after-style filters. No log-based change data capture.
