Why teams connect Lever and Starburst Enterprise

Land the people and organization records from Lever in Starburst Enterprise as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Lever can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Lever is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Starburst Enterprise next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Users, Stages, Feedback, Interviews from Lever into tables in Starburst Enterprise continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Starburst Enterprise, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Lever where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read federated views that join warehouse, lake, and database tables, then sync the result into operational tools like a CRM
  • 02 Expose Iceberg or Hive lake tables to sync jobs through one SQL endpoint without moving the data first
  • 03 Push Postings and Requisitions into an HRIS or warehouse to reconcile approved headcount against open roles.
  • 04 When an Opportunity is marked hired, write the candidate and its Offer into an HRIS or onboarding system to start employee provisioning.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Lever's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Starburst Enterprise for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Starburst Enterprise gives you a durable, queryable record of how Lever's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

What you can sync between Lever and Starburst Enterprise

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 Starburst Enterprise 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. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Offers is specific to Lever and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Users is specific to Lever and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Stages is specific to Lever and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Feedback is specific to Lever and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Interviews is specific to Lever and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Notes and Contacts is specific to Lever and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Lever and Starburst Enterprise

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

Starburst Enterprise Lever Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
