Components Diagram (C3) - HR Integration

In the C4 model, the C3 diagrams highlights how the components within a container operate and interact.

For the HR Integration container we want to show how we incorporate the characteristics interoperability and fault tolerance.

HR System Integration Overview

  • Asynchronous Decoupling
    The HR system is decoupled through asynchronous integration, as described in ADR-005. It leverages the Matches topic for data exchange.

  • HR System Adapters
    For each HR system (e.g., SAP SuccessFactors, Workday), a dedicated adapter is developed, as outlined in ADR-023. These adapters operate in multiple threads and run asynchronously to handle different HR systems concurrently.

  • Fault Tolerance and Reliability
    To ensure a fault-tolerant integration, a retry mechanism is implemented using dead-letter queues with an exponential backoff strategy, as described in ADR-023. This setup guarantees message reprocessing in case of transient failures and prevents data loss.

Data flow

Adding an HR Integration for an Employer

  1. The Employer container facilitates the addition or updating of an HR integration for a specific employer.
  2. Credentials and information related to the HR integration (such as system details and employer identification) are sent to the HR Integration API component.
  3. The HR System Orchestrator stores non-sensitive information in the database while credentials are securely saved in the key store.

Important: An employer cannot create a new adapter for an unsupported HR system. This functionality must be implemented by the Clear View team.

Uploading the Resume

  1. The Matches Subscriber monitors the Matches topic for any changes.
  2. When a match is unlocked, it triggers a call to the HR System Orchestrator.
  3. The HR System Orchestrator checks for one or more configured HR integrations for the employer, selects the appropriate adapter(s), and retrieves the candidate's resume.
  4. The HR System Orchestrator then calls the selected adapter(s) asynchronously for the respective HR system(s).
  5. The HR System Adapter uploads the resume to the employer's HR system.
  6. In the event of a failure, the HR System Orchestrator pushes the upload request to a dead-letter queue, where it is retried using an exponential backoff strategy. If failures persist, requests are escalated to a higher retry queue until no further attempts are made.

Hint: Future enhancements may include the addition of email notifications for status updates.
