ApproveThis manages your DevSkiller Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Competitive Edge

Modern hiring teams face a critical challenge: moving fast enough to secure top technical talent without compromising decision quality. DevSkiller's coding assessments identify skilled candidates, while ApproveThis ensures cross-functional alignment on hiring decisions. Together, they create a recruitment pipeline that's both agile and accountable.

When connected via Zapier, these platforms automate the handoff between candidate evaluation and organizational decision-making. Engineering managers get real-time skill data, HR leaders maintain compliance oversight, and executives control budget approvals – all without manual follow-ups or spreadsheet tracking.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Technical hiring often stalls in the "decision limbo" phase – candidates pass assessments but wait weeks for offer approvals. The DevSkiller-ApproveThis bridge solves this through:

• Contextual Approvals: Send assessment results alongside approval requests
• Parallel Processing: Route compensation approvals while scheduling final interviews

HR teams at a SaaS company reduced time-to-hire by 22% using this integration. They automatically triggered executive approvals when candidates scored above 85% on DevSkiller's React.js tests, with all performance data embedded in the approval request.

Real-World Workflow Accelerators

Use Case 1: Automated Hiring Committee Alignment

When a candidate completes a DevSkiller assessment (status: ASSESSMENT_COMPLETED), ApproveThis:

1. Creates parallel approval tracks: - Engineering lead reviews code quality - HR confirms compensation band - Finance approves signing bonus
2. Applies conditional logic: - Only escalates to VP if offer exceeds $150k - Bypasses HR review for contractor roles

A cybersecurity firm uses this to coordinate between CISO, CFO, and remote team leads – critical when hiring across three time zones.

Use Case 2: Candidate Experience Automation

Approved hires trigger DevSkiller invitations for onboarding tasks:

1. ApproveThis detects "Offer Approved" status
2. DevSkiller sends pre-boarding coding environment setup
3. New hire completes infrastructure config before Day 1

A fintech startup using this flow reported 89% new hire productivity in Week 1 vs. 63% previously.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connect the platforms in 4 steps:

1. Create Zapier account (if none exists)
2. Choose DevSkiller trigger: "Candidate Status Changed"
3. Set ApproveThis action: "Create Request"
4. Map fields: - DevSkiller score → Approval threshold - Role type → Approval group

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-flag candidates needing security clearances based on DevSkiller's "Technologies Used" data.

Department-Specific Benefits

HR Operations

Automatically route assessments: - Junior roles: Team lead + HRBP approval - Director+: Include compensation committee - Contractors: Legal review if DevSkiller detects open-source contributions

Approval thresholds ensure compliance – no more accidental offers above pay bands.

Engineering Leadership

Embed technical context in approvals: - Code challenge results - Environment setup times - Framework-specific scores

Vacation delegation prevents interview scheduling delays when architects are OOO.

Executive Teams

Real-time dashboards show: - Approval bottlenecks - Cost-per-hire trends - Diversity candidate ratios

Approval groups allow CFO/CTO/CHRO to vote sequentially or concurrently based on role criticality.

Beyond Basic Approvals

ApproveThis adds unique value through:

Email Decisions: External clients approve contractor hires without DevSkiller logins. Legal partners review NDAs directly from inboxes.

Dynamic Escalation: If a lead engineer rejects a candidate but scores suggest high potential, workflow automatically requests architect review.

Audit Trails: Full history of who approved what – crucial for OFCCP compliance in enterprise hiring.

Implementation Best Practices

Do:

• Sync DevSkiller tags with ApproveThis custom fields (e.g., "React Expert")
• Set threshold rules to auto-approve returning interns' offers below $80k

Don't:

• Over-notify approvers – use Zapier filters to trigger only on high-priority roles
• Duplicate existing ATS workflows – augment instead of replace

Start Making Better Hires Faster

The DevSkiller-ApproveThis integration isn't about replacing human judgment – it's about arming your team with context to make decisions faster. Technical recruiters save 8-12 hours weekly on approval chasing. Engineering managers review candidates in their existing workflow (email/Slack). Finance maintains budget control without gatekeeping.
