Why teams connect Jobvite and TimescaleDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: TimescaleDB 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. TimescaleDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: New Hire, Employee, Attachment, Offer in Jobvite need to exist as queryable Hypertables, Chunks, Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables in TimescaleDB 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 Hypertables, Chunks, Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables in TimescaleDB with New Hire, Employee, Attachment, Offer 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 Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • 02 Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • 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

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

New Hire, Employee, Attachment, Offer replicate into TimescaleDB 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 TimescaleDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between Jobvite and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects How this pairing syncs
Workflow Status The pipeline stage per application (Screen, Interview, Offer, Hired); updated through POST /candidate/updateCandidates to advance records. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Workflow Status is specific to Jobvite and Schemas to TimescaleDB — 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. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. New Hire is specific to Jobvite and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — 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. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Employee is specific to Jobvite and Chunks to TimescaleDB — 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. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Attachment is specific to Jobvite and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — 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. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Offer is specific to Jobvite and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — 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. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Candidate is specific to Jobvite and Views to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and TimescaleDB

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

TimescaleDB Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

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.
  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

How the Jobvite and TimescaleDB 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.
