ApproveThis manages your Interwoo Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Goal: Better Decisions Faster

Modern hiring moves fast. Candidates expect quick responses, managers need structured reviews, and HR teams juggle competing priorities. This is where ApproveThis and Interwoo create something bigger than either tool alone. By connecting approval automation with candidate response management through Zapier, teams gain precision control over hiring workflows while maintaining human oversight where it matters.

Interwoo reduces time-to-hire by centralizing candidate communications and interview scheduling. ApproveThis adds guardrails to the process - ensuring key stakeholders review applications, compensation packages, or offer letters at the right moments. Together, they create a system where speed doesn't compromise compliance, and collaboration doesn't create bottlenecks.

Why This Integration Works

Interwoo specializes in first-contact efficiency - collecting candidate availability, automating interview invites, and tracking responses. But critical decisions still require human judgment. ApproveThis injects structured decision points into these automated flows. For example:

• A recruiter can auto-schedule initial screenings through Interwoo while routing final candidate shortlists for team approval via ApproveThis
• HR managers get automatic alerts when offer letters exceed predefined salary thresholds, requiring executive sign-off before sending

This combination is particularly powerful because ApproveThis doesn't require approvers to have Interwoo licenses. External hiring managers, finance team members, or department heads can review requests directly via email or ApproveThis' dashboard without accessing sensitive candidate data in Interwoo.

Real-World Use Cases That Move the Needle

1. From Application to Approval in One Flow

When Interwoo detects a new candidate application that meets minimum requirements (skills match, salary range, etc.), Zapier can automatically:

1. Create an ApproveThis request with candidate details
2. Route it to hiring managers based on department or role type
3. Trigger interview scheduling in Interwoo upon approval

Example: A tech startup uses this flow to ensure engineering leads review all developer applications within 24 hours. Approved candidates automatically receive coding challenge invites via Interwoo, while rejections trigger polite decline emails.

2. Escalating Compensation Approvals

Configure ApproveThis to auto-approve offers within budgeted ranges but escalate exceptions. When Interwoo receives a candidate's salary expectation:

• Offers under $90k route directly to HR for finalization
• Requests above threshold require CFO approval in ApproveThis
• All approved offers auto-populate Interwoo's offer letter templates

Example: A retail chain uses this to control regional hiring. Store managers can approve entry-level wages locally, while district managers review supervisor roles through ApproveThis without needing direct Interwoo access.

Features That Make It Click

While the Zapier integration handles data flow, ApproveThis adds decision-making infrastructure:

Conditional Routing

Automatically send senior developer candidates to engineering directors while routing marketing roles to CMO delegates. Configure rules based on Interwoo's job category tags.

Vacation Coverage

When a hiring manager marks OOO in ApproveThis, requests automatically reroute to their deputy. No more stalled applications during holidays.

Approval Analytics

Track how long each review stage takes. Identify bottlenecks where additional Interwoo automation could help (e.g., auto-reminders for delayed approvals).

Team-Specific Benefits

For HR Teams

Reduce follow-up emails by 60% with automatic status updates. ApproveThis' dashboard shows exactly where each application sits - from initial Interwoo response to final approval. Set escalation rules to ensure no candidate gets stuck in review limbo.

For Hiring Managers

Review applications in ApproveThis without learning new software. Comment directly on candidate PDFs from Interwoo, then click approve/reject. Mobile-friendly approvals mean decisions happen during commute times.

For Executives

Maintain control over headcount budgets without micromanaging. Receive high-priority ApproveThis alerts only when offers exceed department thresholds, with full context from Interwoo profiles.

Setting It Up: 15 Minutes to Better Workflows

Zapier makes integration straightforward:

1. Connect Accounts: Log into Zapier, then authorize both ApproveThis and Interwoo
2. Choose Trigger: Start with "New Response in Interwoo" or "New Request in ApproveThis"
3. Map Fields: Link Interwoo candidate data to ApproveThis request forms
4. Set Rules: Add conditional logic (e.g., "Only route offers above $X for approval")
5. Test: Create test candidate in Interwoo to trigger approval flow

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing attention. For example, if Interwoo reports a candidate's expected salary 20% above budget, add a "Requires CFO Review" tag automatically.

When to Consider This Integration

This pairing delivers most value for:

• Companies processing 50+ applications monthly
• Teams with decentralized hiring across offices/departments
• Orgs requiring compliance audits for hiring practices

Case in Point: A healthcare recruiter reduced time-to-hire by 40% using these tools together. Interwoo handled candidate prescreening and interview logistics, while ApproveThis ensured compliance officers reviewed all nurse certifications before offers went out.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Tactics

Once comfortable with core features, explore:

Auto-Archiving

When ApproveThis detects a rejected offer, have Zapier move the Interwoo candidate profile to an "Rejected - Budget" folder. Maintains clean active pipelines.

Multi-Stage Approvals

Require engineering lead + HRBP sign-off for technical roles. ApproveThis sequences reviews, only progressing candidates who get dual yeses.

Feedback Loops

If candidates withdraw applications during approval delays (tracked in Interwoo), have ApproveThis flag these instances for process improvement analysis.

Getting Started

The ApproveThis-Interwoo integration isn't about replacing human judgment - it's about making that judgment happen faster and with better context. By removing manual handoffs between systems, teams reduce administrative work while increasing compliance visibility.
