Why teams connect SAP Hana and Smartrecruiters

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: SAP Hana 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. SAP Hana is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Applications, Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews in Smartrecruiters need to exist as queryable Row store tables, Calculation views, SQL views, Schemas in SAP Hana 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 Row store tables, Calculation views, SQL views, Schemas in SAP Hana with Applications, Jobs, Job Postings, Interviews 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 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 02 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.
  • 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

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in SAP Hana write onto the matching record in Smartrecruiters where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Smartrecruiters land as queryable Row store tables, Calculation views, SQL views, Schemas in SAP Hana, 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.

What you can sync between SAP Hana 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.

SAP Hana objects Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. 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 store tables is specific to SAP Hana and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. 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. Row store tables is specific to SAP Hana and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. 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. Calculation views is specific to SAP Hana and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. 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. SQL views is specific to SAP Hana and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the 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). Schemas is specific to SAP Hana and Job Postings to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Sequences is specific to SAP Hana and Interviews to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP Hana 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.

SAP Hana Smartrecruiters Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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

Smartrecruiters SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
  • 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.
