Stabilize recruiting webhook delivery latency

Reliable integrations depend on both platform capacity and the systems receiving events.

Faster delivery can conflict with endpoint protection and the need to avoid duplicate downstream actions.

Our recruiters say a candidate moved yesterday, but our HR system still thinks they’re waiting.

Owns the HRIS integration for a rapidly growing company with frequent hiring activity.

What pulls against what

  • delivery speed vs. partner protection
  • global queue health vs. endpoint-specific behavior
  • replay capability vs. duplicate downstream actions
  • shared infrastructure vs. customer-specific needs

What is at stake

Delayed events create inconsistent hiring records across systems. A safe improvement restores timely downstream updates without creating duplicate actions

Why Ashby

At Ashby, this can matter when recruiting events need to remain dependable beyond the core workflow.
