Why teams connect Jobvite and MySQL

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

Jobvite is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. MySQL is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Offer, Candidate, Requisition (Job), Application in Jobvite need to exist as queryable Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures in MySQL 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 Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures in MySQL with Offer, Candidate, Requisition (Job), Application in Jobvite field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Jobvite 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 Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps
  • 02 Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical
  • 03 Sync Employee roster data into Jobvite with POST /employee to power employee-referral matching and internal-mobility postings.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

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

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Jobvite land as queryable Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures in MySQL, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Jobvite and MySQL

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.

Jobvite objects MySQL objects How this pairing syncs
Employee Employee roster pushed through POST /employee (Onboard sync), used for referral matching and internal-mobility job postings. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Employee is specific to Jobvite and Views to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachment Resumes, cover letters, and files attached to a candidate; synced out to object storage or a document management system. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Attachment is specific to Jobvite and Columns to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offer Offer state tied to an application (extended, accepted, declined); read out for offer-acceptance reporting and written to downstream comp or HR systems. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Offer is specific to Jobvite and Primary and Unique Keys to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Candidate Read from the candidate feed (GET /candidate) and written back via POST /candidate/updateCandidates to change status, notes, and disposition on each record. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. Candidate is specific to Jobvite and JSON Columns to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Requisition (Job) Job openings created or updated through POST /job and read from GET /jobFeed; maps to opening tables in an ATS reporting warehouse. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Requisition (Job) is specific to Jobvite and Stored Procedures to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Application Links a candidate to one requisition with its workflow state; read for pipeline reporting and status written back through the candidate update call. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Application is specific to Jobvite and Triggers to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and MySQL

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.

Jobvite MySQL 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 applied to MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MySQL Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.

How the Jobvite and MySQL connectors work

Jobvite

Integration surface
REST API (JSON) with candidate, requisition (job), and employee feed endpoints under https://api.jobvite.com/{version}
Authentication
API key (api) and secret (sc) plus company ID (companyId), sent in request headers since Jobvite's April 1, 2024 move from URL-query to header-based auth. Credentials are provisioned per customer by Jobvite Support.
Change detection
A candidate hired webhook, configured per customer by a Jobvite rep, POSTs to a custom URL on hire/offer-accepted events; otherwise Stacksync polls the candidate and job feeds on a schedule and diffs results, since records carry no per-item modified-date filter.
