Why teams connect Monday and Smartrecruiters

Keep the people, teams, and status that Monday and Smartrecruiters share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Monday keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Smartrecruiters is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Items, Subitems, Column values, Groups in Monday with Offers, Users, Approvals, Candidates in Smartrecruiters bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Smartrecruiters creates or updates the matching user in Monday within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Monday captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Smartrecruiters in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of Items and their Column values between a monday.com board and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in monday.com.
  • 02 Write closed deals or provisioning records from a CRM or ERP into monday.com Items to kick off delivery and onboarding boards.
  • 03 Two-way sync Candidates and Applications with Postgres so recruiting-ops apps read and update hiring status, tags, and custom fields in SQL while recruiters keep working in SmartRecruiters.
  • 04 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external sourcing tools into SmartRecruiters and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.

Common sync patterns

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Smartrecruiters keep the groups, queues, or projects in Monday assigned to the right people.

Where Monday routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Smartrecruiters, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Monday update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between Monday and Smartrecruiters

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.

Monday objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Users Account members referenced by people columns; read to resolve owner and assignee IDs to names and emails. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Boards Table-like containers that hold items; each board maps to a synced table, and its columns define the field mapping. Job Postings Job ads and publications pushed to the career site and job boards; created and managed via the job publication endpoints (rate-limited to 2 requests/sec). Boards is specific to Monday and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Rows within a board and the primary record; synced two-way and created, updated, archived, or deleted via GraphQL mutations. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Items is specific to Monday and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subitems Nested rows under items, stored on a separate hidden board; synced as a child table linked to the parent item. Offers Offer records tied to an Application with status, custom offer fields, and offer documents; readable and writable, commonly synced to an HRIS on hire (documents endpoint limited to 2 requests/sec). Subitems is specific to Monday and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Column values Typed fields (status, date, people, numbers, connect-boards); polymorphic JSON usually written together via change_multiple_column_values. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Column values is specific to Monday and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Named sections that group items inside a board; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Candidates Person records with contact details, tags, attachments, custom properties, and consent; created, updated, and searched via the Candidates API, often populated from sourcing or enrichment pipelines. Groups is specific to Monday and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Monday and Smartrecruiters

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.

Monday Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionMonday notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Board-scoped webhooks (create_item, change_column_value, item_deleted, and similar) for real-time events.

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

Smartrecruiters Monday Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartrecruiters notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks API — subscribe to events (new application, candidate updated, status changed) delivered with a signing secret and retrievable callback logs.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Monday: Complexity-budget limits: a single query caps at 5M complexity points and ~10M points/min per user token (1M on trial/free) over a sliding 60s window.
  • Smartrecruiters: Per API credential: most endpoints allow up to 10 requests/sec (job publication and offer documents 2/sec), plus a concurrency limiter of up to 8 simultaneous requests (GET /candidates capped at 1). Exceeding returns 429; responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining and concurrent-limit headers.
