Why teams connect Jobvite and TiDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: TiDB 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. TiDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Requisition (Job), Application, Workflow Status, New Hire in Jobvite need to exist as queryable Indexes, Sequences, Databases, Tables in TiDB 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, Sequences, Databases, Tables in TiDB with Requisition (Job), Application, Workflow Status, New Hire 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 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 02 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 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

Requisition (Job), Application, Workflow Status, New Hire replicate into TiDB 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 TiDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between Jobvite and TiDB

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 TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Candidate Read from the candidate feed (GET /candidate) and written back via POST /candidate/updateCandidates to change status, notes, and disposition on each record. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Candidate is specific to Jobvite and Views to TiDB — 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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Requisition (Job) is specific to Jobvite and Columns to TiDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Application is specific to Jobvite and Indexes to TiDB — 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 Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Workflow Status is specific to Jobvite and Sequences to TiDB — 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. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. New Hire is specific to Jobvite and Databases to TiDB — 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. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Employee is specific to Jobvite and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and TiDB

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

TiDB Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Jobvite and TiDB 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.
Capabilities
