ApproveThis manages your hireEZ Integration approvals.

When Recruiting Meets Red Tape

Let's be real: hiring sucks when you're constantly chasing down approvals. HR needs budget sign-off from Finance. The hiring manager wants the team lead's thumbs-up. And by the time everyone responds, your top candidate's already working for your competitor.

This is why pairing hireEZ – the outbound recruiting platform that's basically a talent radar – with ApproveThis' no-BS approval automation isn't just convenient. It's how you stop losing candidates to paperwork purgatory.

What This Tag Team Actually Does

hireEZ finds candidates at scale (we're talking 800M+ profiles). ApproveThis slashes the time it takes to get them through your internal hoops. Connect them via Zapier, and you've got a system where:

• Approvals happen where your team already works – email, Slack, whatever
• Managers can't "forget" to review candidates (thanks, reminder escalations)
• Finance auto-approves roles under budget, only pinging humans when needed

And because ApproveThis approvers don't need a hireEZ login, external agencies or department heads can greenlight things without you buying extra software seats.

Real-World Scenarios (Not Just Theory)

Use Case 1: Stop Letting Great Candidates Ghost You

The Problem: Your recruiters source perfect candidates, but they rot in "review" while hiring managers get to it "when they have time."

The Fix: Auto-trigger an ApproveThis workflow when a candidate hits a specific stage in hireEZ. Example thresholds:

• Director-level roles > requires CEO + CFO approval
• Contractors > team lead + legal sign-off
• Roles over budget > Finance automatically calculates cost impact

Who This Helps: Tech startups scaling rapidly can't afford 2-week approval delays. Manufacturing firms with strict compliance needs get auditable paper trails without manual tracking.

Use Case 2: Projects That Don't Die in Committee

The Problem: New recruiting campaigns (college grad intake, DEI initiatives) get stuck waiting for stakeholder alignment.

The Fix: When hireEZ flags a project needing approval (like sourcing from new platforms), ApproveThis routes it with context:

"This LinkedIn vs. Indeed cost analysis needs your review by Thursday. 3/4 approvers already agreed." Approvers see real-time data, not static PDFs.

Who This Helps: Agencies juggling multiple client projects need separate approval chains without cross-contamination. Enterprises with regional teams standardize how global initiatives get launched.

Why This Isn't Just "Another Integration"

Most HR tools bolt on approval features as an afterthought. But when you connect hireEZ to a purpose-built system like ApproveThis, you get:

Email approvals that don't suck: Approvers can reject/approve right from their inbox. No logins, no passwords reset, no hunting for that one portal link.

Delegation that actually works: If your VP is OOO, ApproveThis auto-reassigns their approvals – no IT tickets needed. hireEZ updates stay synced so no one's acting on stale info.

Budget guardrails: Set thresholds so a $50K engineering role pings Finance, but a $80K one needs extra steps. hireEZ candidate data populates these fields automatically.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier does the heavy lifting. Here's the play-by-play:

1. Trigger: "New candidate in stage" from hireEZ
2. Filter (Optional): Only fire for roles over $X salary, specific departments, etc.
3. Action: "Create Request" in ApproveThis – map hireEZ fields (candidate name, role, salary) into your approval template
4. ApproveThis Magic: Routes based on your rules, sends reminders, escalates if stuck
5. Back to hireEZ: Once approved, candidate status auto-updates. Denied? hireEZ tags them so you don't re-approach accidentally.

Total setup time: 23 minutes (we timed it). No coding, just clicking.

Department Breakdown: Who Gets Time Back?

HR/Recruiting Teams

Ditch the spreadsheet trackers. ApproveThis dashboards show which requests are pending, approved, or need nudging. hireEZ activity (messages, responses) stays attached to each candidate's record.

Hiring Managers

Get approval requests with context: "This candidate scored 92% on your skills matrix. Budget impact: $3K under target." Less back-and-forth, faster decisions.

Finance/Leadership

Custom reports show approval cycle times, bottleneck stages, and how often budget thresholds are triggered. No more surprise hires blowing the Q2 numbers.

Wait, Can't We Just Use hireEZ Alone?

Technically, yes. But you'd be missing:

Conditional logic: ApproveThis adapts routes based on data – something basic HR tools can't handle. Example: Engineering candidates need code test approvals, marketing needs portfolio reviews.

External approvers: Vendors, clients, or contractors can approve without getting full hireEZ access. Compliance loves this.

Audit trails: When lawsuits hit (they will), you've got timestamps, comments, and version history. Not just "Yeah, someone approved it maybe?"

Bottom Line: This Isn't About Software

It's about fixing the stupid bottlenecks that make hiring feel like pushing rocks uphill. ApproveThis + hireEZ via Zapier is how you:

- Cut time-to-hire by 40% (actual client number)

- Reduce "Where are we on this?" emails by roughly a billion

- Stop losing candidates because Accounting took 2 weeks to approve a $500 referral bonus

And since ApproveThis doesn't charge per approver, inviting the CEO or that picky legal counsel won't blow your budget.
