Why teams connect Render Postgres and Smartrecruiters

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Render Postgres and Smartrecruiters share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Smartrecruiters is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Render Postgres is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Interviews, Offers, Users, Approvals in Smartrecruiters need to exist as queryable Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres with Interviews, Offers, Users, Approvals in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Smartrecruiters typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.
  • 02 Replicate between a Render database and another Postgres or warehouse for migration or environment separation.
  • 03 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external sourcing tools into SmartRecruiters and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.
  • 04 Stream Jobs and Job Postings into a reporting database for requisition, funnel, and time-to-fill dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Smartrecruiters land as queryable Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Interviews, Offers, Users, Approvals replicate into Render Postgres where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between Render Postgres 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.

Render Postgres objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Applications Links a Candidate to a Job and carries the current hiring status and source; created and advanced through statuses (screening, interview, offer, hired, rejected) via the Application API. Schemas is specific to Render Postgres and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Jobs Requisitions (positions) with openings, departments, locations, and hiring team; created, patched, and read out for requisition and time-to-fill reporting via the Jobs API. Columns and Types is specific to Render Postgres and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. 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). Indexes and Constraints is specific to Render Postgres and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Tables is specific to Render Postgres and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. 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). Views is specific to Render Postgres and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Materialized Views is specific to Render Postgres and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Render Postgres 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.

Render Postgres Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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

Smartrecruiters Render Postgres 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 applied to Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
  • 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.
