Why teams connect Smartrecruiters and Starburst Enterprise

Land the people and organization records from Smartrecruiters in Starburst Enterprise as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Smartrecruiters can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Smartrecruiters is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Starburst Enterprise next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Approvals, Candidates, Applications, Jobs from Smartrecruiters into tables in Starburst Enterprise continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Starburst Enterprise, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Smartrecruiters where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read federated views that join warehouse, lake, and database tables, then sync the result into operational tools like a CRM
  • 02 Expose Iceberg or Hive lake tables to sync jobs through one SQL endpoint without moving the data first
  • 03 Stream Jobs and Job Postings into a reporting database for requisition, funnel, and time-to-fill dashboards.
  • 04 Export Interviews and Offers to a data warehouse to analyze interviewer load, offer-acceptance rates, and hiring outcomes.

Common sync patterns

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Smartrecruiters arrive in Starburst Enterprise as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Smartrecruiters's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Starburst Enterprise for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

What you can sync between Smartrecruiters and Starburst Enterprise

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.

Smartrecruiters objects Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Approvals is specific to Smartrecruiters and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Candidates is specific to Smartrecruiters and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Applications is specific to Smartrecruiters and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Jobs is specific to Smartrecruiters and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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). Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Job Postings is specific to Smartrecruiters and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interviews Interview types, timeslots, templates, and scheduled interviews with interviewers and times; created, updated, and read for scheduling and interviewer-load analytics. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Interviews is specific to Smartrecruiters and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Smartrecruiters and Starburst Enterprise

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.

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

Starburst Enterprise Smartrecruiters Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
