ApproveThis manages your Async Interview Integration approvals.

When Approval Automation Meets Modern Recruitment

Modern HR teams face a critical challenge: balancing thorough candidate evaluation with the need for rapid hiring decisions. Async Interview's video platform solves half the equation by enabling flexible candidate responses, while ApproveThis completes the picture by adding structured decision-making to the process. Together through Zapier integration, these tools create an airtight system for managing high-volume recruitment without compromising on oversight.

Strategic Advantages for Recruitment Teams

Combining Async Interview's asynchronous video capabilities with ApproveThis' approval automation creates measurable improvements across three key areas:

• Reduced Time-to-Hire: Cut approval delays from days to hours through automated routing
• Improved Compliance: Enforce consistent evaluation criteria across hiring teams

Consider a healthcare recruiter managing nurse candidates across multiple facilities. Async Interview captures standardized clinical scenario responses, while ApproveThis automatically routes videos to the correct department heads based on specialty. Hiring managers review directly from email without needing Async Interview licenses, maintaining strict access controls for sensitive candidate data.

Real-World Implementation Scenarios

High-Volume Staffing Agencies

Agencies placing 50+ weekly contractors use this integration to implement tiered approvals. Junior recruiters initiate requests through Async Interview submissions, which automatically route to:

• Account managers for client-specific requirements
• Legal teams for contract compliance checks

ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag candidates requiring senior review based on salary thresholds or non-standard contract terms.

Enterprise HR Departments

Global organizations leverage approval groups in ApproveThis to handle matrixed reporting structures. When Async Interview receives an executive candidate's responses, ApproveThis initiates parallel approvals with:

• Department heads evaluating technical competence
• HR business partners assessing cultural fit
• Compensation committees reviewing salary requests

Vacation delegation rules ensure stalled approvals automatically reassign to backup approvers during peak holiday periods.

Technical Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration requires three steps in Zapier:

1. Connect Async Interview's "New Interview Response" trigger
2. Map candidate metadata to ApproveThis' custom fields
3. Configure approval rules based on position type/seniority

Most teams complete initial setup in under 45 minutes using pre-built templates. The integration supports bi-directional updates - when ApproveThis records a decision, Zapier can automatically update Async Interview's candidate status.

Cross-Functional Benefits

For Talent Acquisition Teams

Recruiters gain real-time visibility into approval bottlenecks through ApproveThis' dashboard. Automatic reminders ensure hiring managers review Async Interview responses within SLA windows, while approval thresholds auto-approve junior roles meeting strict criteria.

For Finance & Legal Departments

ApproveThis routes candidates with non-standard compensation packages through additional compliance checks. Legal teams review recorded Async Interview responses alongside contract terms without needing direct access to the recruitment platform.

For External Stakeholders

Client organizations in staffing scenarios receive approval links via email, maintaining candidate privacy while allowing direct input on final hiring decisions. All interactions are logged in ApproveThis for audit compliance.

Advanced Configuration Options

Seasoned users enhance the integration with:

• Conditional Routing: Direct technical roles to engineering leads while routing sales candidates to revenue operations
• Auto-Escalation: Bump stalled approvals to department VPs after 48 hours
• Analytics Integration: Connect approval timelines to BI tools to identify process improvements

Getting Started

Begin with a limited pilot for one department or role type:

1. Create an Async Interview template for target positions
2. Build matching approval workflows in ApproveThis
3. Test with live candidates during low-volume periods

Most teams see full ROI within 90 days through reduced administrative overhead and faster hiring cycles.
