Proposed workflow
Candidate or application reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting eventA change involving the proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j or SmartRecruiters Candidates needs a defined result in the other system.
Start with the proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j and SmartRecruiters Candidates. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
Resolve job, application, recruiter, and any approved employee handoff.
Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
What to verifyTest multiple applications for one candidate and an application withdrawal after export.

Compare integration approaches
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) / Candidates to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
Stacksync managed sync
- Best fit
- Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
- Operating responsibility
- Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
- Before you choose
- Check record matching: Keep person/candidate and job-application IDs separate; one candidate may have several applications. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.
Native vendor integration
- Best fit
- A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Neo4j and SmartRecruiters record types.
- Operating responsibility
- Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
- Before you choose
- First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) / Candidates, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.
Custom API or workflow
- Best fit
- Consider when Neo4j and SmartRecruiters need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
- Operating responsibility
- Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
- Before you choose
- Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.
File or scheduled snapshot
- Best fit
- Consider for a one-time Neo4j / SmartRecruiters migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
- Operating responsibility
- Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
- Before you choose
- Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.
Workflow scenarios and expected results
Candidate or application reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) or Candidates record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Neo4j Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) and SmartRecruiters Candidates. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve job, application, recruiter, and any approved employee handoff.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test multiple applications for one candidate and an application withdrawal after export.
If it fails: Repair application identity before retrying; preserve withdrawal and retention decisions.
Application user or identity sync test
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting event: A change to the selected Users & Roles or Users record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Neo4j Users & Roles and SmartRecruiters Users. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve tenant and group references and establish a protected administrative-account policy.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.
If it fails: Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.
Application user or identity reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

- Start with Neo4j Proposed application user or identity table in Neo4j (choose its name) and SmartRecruiters Users. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve tenant and group references and establish a protected administrative-account policy.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.
If it fails: Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.
Worker lifecycle planning for SmartRecruiters and Neo4j
This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.
Starting event: A worker joins, moves, or leaves in SmartRecruiters; a downstream process in Neo4j needs the approved context.
- Identify the worker and employment record represented by Candidates or Applications. Retain effective dates and organizational scope.
- Determine what Users & Roles represents: an operational task, a user identity, or a reporting row. Define a relationship; do not map these records as if they were the employee itself.
- Require the process owner to approve any access, payroll, or account action and assign an exception owner.
Expected result: Rehires and concurrent assignments keep distinct employment context; delayed updates do not reverse a newer effective state.
If it fails: Inspect employment identity and effective dates before retrying the downstream action.
Initial load and acceptance testing
Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) / Candidates
Test case
Test multiple applications for one candidate and an application withdrawal after export.
Expected result
The expected candidate or application relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Users & Roles / Users
Test case
Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.
Expected result
The expected application user or identity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Proposed application user or identity table in Neo4j (choose its name) / Users
Test case
Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.
Expected result
The expected application user or identity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Direction and permissions
Test case
Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.
Expected result
Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.
Freshness and reconciliation
Test case
Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.
Expected result
The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.
Failed updates, retries and recovery
Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.
Rejected or repeated candidate or application change
Investigate
Inspect Neo4j Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) and SmartRecruiters Candidates, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Repair application identity before retrying; preserve withdrawal and retention decisions.
Rejected or repeated application user or identity change
Investigate
Inspect Neo4j Users & Roles and SmartRecruiters Users, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.
Rejected or repeated application user or identity change
Investigate
Inspect Neo4j Proposed application user or identity table in Neo4j (choose its name) and SmartRecruiters Users, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.
A record type or update is unavailable
Investigate
Check the Neo4j and SmartRecruiters connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.
Next action
Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.
Source and destination disagree after a retry
Investigate
Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.
Next action
Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.
Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.

FAQ
Neo4j and SmartRecruiters integration FAQ
-
Explore a Neo4j and SmartRecruiters integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Neo4j and SmartRecruiters is not established by the connector documentation reviewed for this page. Start with one record and the update your business needs to identify an implementation path.
-
Confirm two-way support with Stacksync for the records and fields you need in both systems. Access to a vendor API does not confirm that its Stacksync connector supports write-back.
-
Prepare both accounts, the selected object schemas, stable source and destination IDs, and the expected outcome. Identify the Neo4j account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Identify the SmartRecruiters account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Use the pair worksheet to record ownership and acceptance criteria.
-
Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
-
No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.
-
Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.
-
Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.
-
Use the current Stacksync pricing page and confirm the supported implementation with the team. Scope the required objects, record volume, update frequency, initial load, and support needs when comparing a managed connector with native or custom development.
-
Start by reviewing Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) in Neo4j and Candidates in SmartRecruiters. Check how these records relate in your workflow, then confirm the actual fields and supported operations. Test record matching and one failed or repeated update before adding more records.
-
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed candidate or application table in Neo4j (choose its name) / Candidates to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
