Why teams connect Lever and Yellowbrick

Land the people and organization records from Lever in Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Postings, Requisitions, Offers, Users from Lever into tables in Yellowbrick continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Yellowbrick, 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 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
  • 02 Push warehouse-computed aggregates or segments back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • 03 Two-way sync Opportunities and their Stages between Lever and a Postgres database so recruiting ops and analysts query the pipeline in SQL while recruiters keep working in Lever.
  • 04 Push Postings and Requisitions into an HRIS or warehouse to reconcile approved headcount against open roles.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Lever's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
Requisitions Headcount/requisition records with custom requisition fields, tied to Postings; read via GET /requisitions and synced to an HRIS to reconcile approved headcount against open roles. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Requisitions is specific to Lever and Databases to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Offers is specific to Lever and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Users is specific to Lever and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Stages is specific to Lever and Views to Yellowbrick — 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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Feedback is specific to Lever and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Lever and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick Lever Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.

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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.
