Why teams connect Salesforce and Smartrecruiters

Keep the people who own accounts in Salesforce in step with the workforce records in Smartrecruiters, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Salesforce runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Smartrecruiters. Smartrecruiters is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.

Stacksync syncs Cases, Campaigns, Tasks and Events, Products and Price Books in Salesforce with Applications, Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Smartrecruiters stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Salesforce keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • 02 Write product usage metrics computed in a warehouse onto Account and Contact fields so reps see adoption signals on the record.
  • 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

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Smartrecruiters records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Salesforce, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Smartrecruiters, their accounts and territory assignments in Salesforce update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Smartrecruiters marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Salesforce is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

What you can sync between Salesforce 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.

Salesforce objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records. 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. Contacts is specific to Salesforce and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines. 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. Leads is specific to Salesforce and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close. 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). Opportunities is specific to Salesforce and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Cases is specific to Salesforce and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse. 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). Campaigns is specific to Salesforce and Offers to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Tasks and Events is specific to Salesforce and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Salesforce 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.

Salesforce Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Salesforce are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting).

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

Smartrecruiters Salesforce 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 Salesforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Salesforce: Daily API request allocations vary by edition and license count.
  • 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.
