Why teams connect Lever and Render Postgres

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Render Postgres and Lever share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Lever is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Render Postgres is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Stages, Feedback, Interviews, Notes and Contacts in Lever need to exist as queryable Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns and Types, Indexes and Constraints in Render Postgres 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 Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns and Types, Indexes and Constraints in Render Postgres with Stages, Feedback, Interviews, Notes and Contacts in Lever field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Lever 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 as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.
  • 02 Replicate between a Render database and another Postgres or warehouse for migration or environment separation.
  • 03 When an Opportunity is marked hired, write the candidate and its Offer into an HRIS or onboarding system to start employee provisioning.
  • 04 Consolidate Feedback, Interviews, and Notes into a warehouse for interviewer scorecard and time-to-fill reporting.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Lever land as queryable Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns and Types, Indexes and Constraints in Render Postgres, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

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.

What you can sync between Lever and Render Postgres

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.

Lever objects Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Offers Offer records attached to an Opportunity with status and offer-form fields; exposed read-only through GET /opportunities/:id/offers, so they sync outbound to an HRIS or onboarding system when a candidate reaches the offer stage. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Offers is specific to Lever and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Lever team members (recruiters, hiring managers) with configurable roles; can be created via POST /users, deactivated, and reactivated through the API. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Users is specific to Lever and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stages Pipeline stage definitions that Opportunities move through; read to model funnel state and stage transitions in a database. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Stages is specific to Lever and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Feedback Interview feedback and scorecard forms attached to Opportunities; created via POST /opportunities/:id/feedback and consolidated into a warehouse for interviewer analytics. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Feedback is specific to Lever and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interviews Scheduled interview panel events with times and interviewers; read for scheduling reporting and time-to-hire metrics, and creatable via the panels endpoint. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Interviews is specific to Lever and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes and Contacts Free-text Notes on Opportunities plus the underlying Contact (person) that dedupes multiple Opportunities; notes are posted via POST /opportunities/:id/notes and contact-level tags, sources, and links can be added back for attribution. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Notes and Contacts is specific to Lever and Schemas to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Lever and Render Postgres

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.

Lever Render Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionLever notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for candidate and application lifecycle events (applicationCreated, candidateStageChange, candidateArchiveStateChange, candidateHired,.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Render Postgres Lever Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Lever through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Lever: 10 requests/second per API key with a token-bucket burst to ~20/s; POSTs that create candidates/applications are throttled to roughly 2/second. Sustained overage returns 429 with Retry-After. List endpoints are cursor-paginated at up to 100 records per page.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
