ApproveThis manages your RocketDevs Integration approvals.

Why Approval Workflows Matter in Recruitment

Modern hiring teams face a critical challenge: balancing speed with accountability. Delays in candidate approvals lead to missed opportunities, while rushed decisions risk mismatched hires. RocketDevs simplifies connecting companies with pre-vetted software engineers, but even the best recruitment pipelines hit bottlenecks when stakeholders can’t align on decisions quickly. This is where ApproveThis transforms the process.

Two Platforms, One Streamlined Workflow

By connecting RocketDevs and ApproveThis through Zapier, teams automate the bridge between candidate discovery and collaborative decision-making. RocketDevs handles talent sourcing and pipeline management, while ApproveThis adds structure to how hiring teams review, approve, and advance candidates. Together, they create a closed-loop system where approvals directly impact recruitment workflows without manual handoffs.

Key Integration Benefits

For HR Teams: Automatically convert new RocketDevs candidate profiles into approval requests with all relevant details attached. No more chasing hiring managers via email – decisions happen in a centralized platform with built-in reminders.

For Engineering Leads: Review candidate technical assessments alongside project fit analysis directly in approval requests. Vacation delegation ensures approvals aren’t delayed when key team members are unavailable.

For Executives: Set approval thresholds to auto-approve candidates below certain salary bands or for specific roles, while maintaining oversight on strategic hires.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Automated Candidate Review Workflows

When a new developer applies through RocketDevs, ApproveThis can automatically:

• Generate approval requests with candidate profiles, salary requirements, and skills assessments
• Route to technical evaluators first, then department heads based on conditional logic

Example: A fintech startup uses calculated fields to flag candidates whose salary expectations exceed budget. Requests route to CFOs only when thresholds are breached, keeping executives focused on exception cases.

2. Status Synchronization

Approval decisions in ApproveThis automatically update candidate progress in RocketDevs, creating a single source of truth. Denied candidates are moved to archival pipelines, while approved ones trigger next steps like interview scheduling.

Example: A digital agency uses this integration to ensure approved candidates receive offer letters within 1 business day, reducing time-to-hire by 40% compared to manual processes.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration requires no coding:

1. Create Zapier accounts for both ApproveThis and RocketDevs
2. Choose your trigger event (e.g., "New Candidate" in RocketDevs)
3. Map candidate data to ApproveThis request fields
4. Set approval rules and routing logic in ApproveThis

Critical Configuration Tips

Do: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-score candidates based on RocketDevs assessment data. For instance, automatically flag applicants with 4+ years of React experience for expedited technical review.

Don’t: Overcomplicate approval chains. Start with 2-3 steps (technical eval → hiring manager → budget approval) and expand as needed.

Cross-Functional Advantages

HR Operations

Reduce administrative work by 60% through automated request creation and status updates. ApproveThis’ email-based approvals let external stakeholders (like client companies in staffing scenarios) participate without needing RocketDevs access.

Engineering Leadership

Maintain code quality standards by requiring senior developers to approve candidates’ technical assessments before HR screens. Vacation delegation ensures continuous progress when leads are unavailable.

Finance Teams

Implement approval thresholds to auto-approve roles under $120k while flagging exceptions for CFO review. Real-time dashboards show pending requests impacting quarterly hiring budgets.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While the Zapier integration handles core workflows, ApproveThis adds unique value through:

Approval Groups: Require consensus from multiple engineers when hiring for lead developer roles

Conditional Routing: Send frontend candidates to React specialists and backend applicants to Python/Django teams

Audit Trails: Maintain compliance-ready records of who approved hires and why

Scaling Across Organizations

The integration supports complex hiring scenarios:

Enterprise Use: A multinational company routes EMEA region approvals to local engineering directors first, then to global HR for contract finalization.

Agencies: Staffing firms share approval requests with client companies through email, collecting feedback without exposing internal RocketDevs pipelines.

Getting Started

To implement this integration:

1. Sign up for ApproveThis (14-day trial available)
2. Connect your RocketDevs account via Zapier
3. Build your first workflow in under 20 minutes

Final Recommendations

Start with high-volume junior roles to demonstrate quick wins before expanding to executive hires. Use ApproveThis’ analytics to identify bottlenecks – if iOS candidate approvals take 50% longer than Android, investigate and optimize your review process.
