Why teams connect Dynamics 365 Business Central and Smartrecruiters

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Dynamics 365 Business Central and Smartrecruiters share in real time, so the people Smartrecruiters manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Smartrecruiters is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Dynamics 365 Business Central runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Sales Invoices, Purchase Orders, General Ledger Entries, Journals in Dynamics 365 Business Central with Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews, Offers in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Dynamics 365 Business Central keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync vendor and purchase order data with procurement or AP automation tools.
  • 02 Create sales orders in Business Central automatically from e-commerce or CRM order records, and sync fulfillment status back.
  • 03 Export Interviews and Offers to a data warehouse to analyze interviewer load, offer-acceptance rates, and hiring outcomes.
  • 04 Subscribe to the Webhooks API to react to new applications and status changes in near real time across downstream systems.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Smartrecruiters keep expense and purchase approval chains in Dynamics 365 Business Central pointed at the right people.

Where Smartrecruiters runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Smartrecruiters posts into Dynamics 365 Business Central as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Smartrecruiters is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Smartrecruiters, the matching employee record in Dynamics 365 Business Central is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.
