How Often Does Refari Synchronise Information with JobAdder?

This article explains how Refari synchronises with JobAdder to ensure your jobs, users, and candidates remain up to date. Synchronisation happens both at regular intervals and in response to specific events (webhooks), which helps keep data current while avoiding unnecessary API calls.

User Management

• Refari checks for updates to user information in JobAdder every 3 hours.

Job Advertisements

• Refari checks every 4 hours for changes made to existing Job Ads.
• Refari checks every hour for new or deleted Job Ads. This acts as a backup if webhook events such as jobad_posted or jobad_expired are missed.

Candidate Management

• Every 4 hours, Refari checks for candidates with referrers to import.
• Every 3 hours, Refari checks for missed applications (last 24 hours) to ensure they are sent to JobAdder.
• Every 3 hours, Refari checks for missed candidate registrations (last 24 hours).
• Every 6 hours, Refari checks for missed answers to application and registration questions (last 24 hours).

Progressions

Progressions are updated instantly using the webhook event jobapplication_status_changed. No scheduled backup checks are performed.

Webhooks Used

Refari uses the following JobAdder webhooks:

• jobad_posted – creates new Job Ads in Refari
• jobad_expired – expires Job Ads in Refari
• jobapplication_status_changed – updates applications, imports referred applications, imports TopRec applications, and logs progressions
• placement_approved – (this event is deleted in the webhook creation task)
