Why teams connect Jobvite and PostgreSQL

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: PostgreSQL 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. PostgreSQL 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 JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL 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 JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL 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 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • 02 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
  • 03 Write New Hire records into an HRIS or onboarding system the moment a candidate is marked hired, driven by Jobvite's candidate hired webhook.
  • 04 Push headcount-approved Requisitions from an internal planning database into Jobvite via POST /job so approved roles post to the career site automatically.

Common sync patterns

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

Offer, Candidate, Requisition (Job), Application replicate into PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between Jobvite and PostgreSQL

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 PostgreSQL objects How this pairing syncs
Offer Offer state tied to an application (extended, accepted, declined); read out for offer-acceptance reporting and written to downstream comp or HR systems. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Offer is specific to Jobvite and Schemas to PostgreSQL — 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. Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. Candidate is specific to Jobvite and Columns to PostgreSQL — 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. Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Requisition (Job) is specific to Jobvite and Primary and Unique Keys to PostgreSQL — 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. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Application is specific to Jobvite and JSONB Columns to PostgreSQL — 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. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Workflow Status is specific to Jobvite and Sequences to PostgreSQL — 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. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. New Hire is specific to Jobvite and Custom Types and Enums to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and PostgreSQL

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

PostgreSQL Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

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.
  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.

How the Jobvite and PostgreSQL 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.
