Why teams connect Jobvite and Workday

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Workday and Jobvite share consistent in real time, so the finance system and the people system stop drifting apart.

Workday runs the money side of the company: who gets paid, what it costs, and which part of the business the cost belongs to. Jobvite runs the people side: who works here, which team they sit in, and how their employment changes over time. The two overlap on the same people and the same org structure, because every employee is also a payee and every department is also a cost center. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a new hire, a transfer, or a termination has to be keyed twice, and the two systems start to disagree about who is active and where the cost lands.

Stacksync syncs Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation in Workday with New Hire, Employee, Attachment, Offer in Jobvite bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, updated, or deactivated on either side appears on the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most when money follows a people event. A hire that finance can pay, a leaver whose access ends, a transfer that redirects cost to the right team, all happen from one change instead of two, so headcount and spend reconcile from the same set of records.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • 02 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 03 Push headcount-approved Requisitions from an internal planning database into Jobvite via POST /job so approved roles post to the career site automatically.
  • 04 Consolidate Applications, Offers, and Workflow Status into a warehouse for time-to-fill and funnel reporting across every requisition.

Common sync patterns

People-driven costs land in finance

Compensation, reimbursements, or other costs tied to a person on the Jobvite side flow into Workday for posting, so the books reflect what people actually cost without manual re-entry.

New person becomes a known record in finance

When someone is added in Jobvite, a matching employee or payee record appears in Workday, ready for payroll, expenses, or cost allocation without anyone rekeying the details.

One employee identity

A person's name, ID, or contact details corrected in either system update the other, so finance and HR reference the same person instead of maintaining two versions.

What you can sync between Jobvite and Workday

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 Workday 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. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Offer is specific to Jobvite and Compensation to Workday — 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. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Candidate is specific to Jobvite and Time Off and Absence to Workday — 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. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Requisition (Job) is specific to Jobvite and Payroll Results to Workday — 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. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Application is specific to Jobvite and Suppliers to Workday — 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. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Workflow Status is specific to Jobvite and Customers and Invoices to Workday — 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. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. New Hire is specific to Jobvite and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and Workday

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 Workday 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 written to Workday through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Workday Jobvite Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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.

How the Jobvite and Workday 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.
