Let's be real - hiring sucks when you're stuck chasing down approvals. Marketing needs a new copywriter yesterday. Engineering's fighting over that senior dev candidate. And every time HR tries to post a job, Legal wants to rewrite the whole description. This is why God invented beer... and also why we built this integration.
When Approval Meets Application
ApproveThis and easy.jobs are like peanut butter and jelly for companies that actually want to hire people instead of pushing paperwork. Easy.jobs handles the messy recruitment stuff - applications, candidate tracking, job postings. ApproveThis slaps structure on your approval chaos. Together? You get hiring decisions that move at business speed, not "waiting for Karen in Legal" speed.
Why Your Hiring Team Will High-Five You
Most HR tools just shuffle resumes. Easy.jobs actually moves candidates through your pipeline. But when every stage needs sign-offs (because corporate politics), things still get stuck. ApproveThis removes the human latency from:
- Job post approvals (yes, we know you changed "rockstar" to "ninja" already)
- Candidate shortlisting (no more 3-week email chains)
- Offer letter sign-offs (because salary numbers make people twitchy)
Better yet - approvers don't need easy.jobs logins. Your external recruiters can approve candidates. Your CFO can greenlight offers. Nobody's paying for extra software seats they don't need.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
1. Killing Job Posting Bureaucracy
Scenario: Your HR team posts 20 roles/month. Each needs 3 approvals across departments.
Old way: PDF drafts → email threads → version chaos → 8-day delay average
New way: easy.jobs draft → Auto-approval flow in ApproveThis → Legal/Marketing/HR get parallel approvals → Post goes live in 12 hours
Who cares: Tech startups needing to scale hiring fast. Retail chains posting seasonal roles. Any company where job descriptions need legal vetting.
2. Candidate Screening That Doesn't Put People to Sleep
Scenario: You get 200 applications for that sales role. Hiring manager needs to shortlist 10.
Old way: Spreadsheet dump → Manager ghosts for a week → HR sends nag emails
New way: easy.jobs detects qualified candidate → ApproveThis pings manager's email → One-click approve/reject → Auto-moves to interview stage
Who cares: High-volume recruiters. Agencies managing multiple clients. Teams using knockout questions in applications.
3. Offer Letters That Don't Collect Dust
Scenario: Final candidate selected. Now need compensation approval.
Old way: Email finance → Wait 3 days → Get counteroffer → More waiting → Candidate takes another job
New way: easy.jobs marks candidate "ready for offer" → ApproveThis routes salary package with auto-calculated comp ratios → Finance approves via email reply → Offer sent same day
Who cares: Companies competing for top talent. Startups with tight budget controls. Remote teams across time zones.
Setup That Won't Make You Swear
If you can make toast, you can connect these tools:
- Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
- Connect easy.jobs (their docs help)
- Plug in ApproveThis
- Pick triggers like "New Candidate Applied"
- Map fields - candidate name, role, application details
- Test with real data (protip: use a current job opening)
Total time? 15 minutes if you're slow. Less if you're caffeinated.
Features Your Team Will Actually Use
Beyond basic approvals, this combo handles:
Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve junior roles under $60k. Escalate director+ hires straight to execs.
Vacation Coverage: Hiring manager OOO? Requests auto-reroute to their backup.
Calculated Fields: Show compa-ratio automatically when salary requests hit approvals.
Cross-Team Visibility: Finance sees why they're approving that signing bonus. Legal knows which clauses need review.
Department-Specific Wins
HR Teams
Cut your "where's that approval?" emails by 80%. Measure approval cycle times. Prove you're not the bottleneck.
Hiring Managers
Approve candidates between Zoom calls. Delegate when swamped. Never lose a top pick to slow approvals.
Finance
Set hard budget guards. Get context with each request. Audit trails for days.
Execs
See hiring velocity metrics. Spot approval roadblocks. Look smart without micromanaging.
Common Objections (And Why They're Wrong)
"We have an ATS already." Cool. Does it auto-route approvals based on role/salary/location? No? Then you're still playing approval tag.
"We use email/Slack for approvals." Great. How many approvals got lost last quarter? Exactly.
"This seems too simple." Bingo. Approval processes shouldn't require a PhD. Set it once, forget it works.
When to Steal This Setup
This isn't enterprise software hell. Try it if:
- Your hiring process involves more than 2 approvers
- Departments fight over candidate decisions
- You've lost hires to slow offer approvals
- Job postings take longer to approve than to write
FAQs For Skeptics
Q: Can external recruiters approve candidates?
A: Yes - they just need email. No easy.jobs login required.
Q: What if our approval chain changes monthly?
A: ApproveThis lets you update workflows faster than Marketing changes their "viral" campaign ideas.
Q: We have custom fields in easy.jobs. Can those trigger approvals?
A: Absolutely. Candidate location requiring regional manager approval? Salary threshold? Tech stack match? Map whatever matters.
Bottom Line
Hiring delays cost real money. Good candidates bail. Teams get frustrated. ApproveThis + easy.jobs through Zapier is like WD-40 for your hiring process - it won't rebuild your engine, but it'll make everything run smoother.
Best part? You can be live before lunch. Register for ApproveThis, connect your easy.jobs account, and start approving like you actually want to hire people this quarter.
Or don't. Keep playing approval email bingo. Your competitors will thank you.
