Why teams connect Jobvite and Postgres Heroku

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Postgres Heroku 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. Postgres Heroku is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Application, Workflow Status, New Hire, Employee in Jobvite need to exist as queryable Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Postgres Heroku 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 Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Postgres Heroku with Application, Workflow Status, New Hire, Employee 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 Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows
  • 02 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
  • 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

Reporting and analytics on current data

Application, Workflow Status, New Hire, Employee replicate into Postgres Heroku 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 Jobvite stay consistent in Postgres Heroku, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

What you can sync between Jobvite and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku objects How this pairing syncs
Application Links a candidate to one requisition with its workflow state; read for pipeline reporting and status written back through the candidate update call. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Application is specific to Jobvite and Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow Status The pipeline stage per application (Screen, Interview, Offer, Hired); updated through POST /candidate/updateCandidates to advance records. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Workflow Status is specific to Jobvite and Materialized Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
New Hire Hired-candidate records surfaced in the candidate feed and via the candidate hired webhook; commonly written into an HRIS or onboarding tool. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. New Hire is specific to Jobvite and Schemas to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee Employee roster pushed through POST /employee (Onboard sync), used for referral matching and internal-mobility job postings. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Employee is specific to Jobvite and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — 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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Attachment is specific to Jobvite and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — 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. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Offer is specific to Jobvite and Sequences to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Postgres Heroku Jobvite Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

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.
  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.

How the Jobvite and Postgres Heroku 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.
