ApproveThis manages your Manatal Integration approvals.

When Recruiting Meets Approval Chaos

Let's get real: hiring is a circus. Job reqs stuck in legal review, candidates ghosting because approvals take weeks, hiring managers CC'ing entire departments on email threads that end with "Wait, who actually signs off on this?"

Manatal handles the recruitment heavy lifting. ApproveThis handles the decision-making gridlock. Connect them via Zapier, and you've got something better than another "streamlined solution"—you get actual adults making decisions without the kindergarten-level coordination.

Why This Combo Works (When Others Don't)

Most HR tech stacks are duct-taped together. ApproveThis + Manatal works because:

• No license tax: External approvers (legal, finance, that picky department head) don't need Manatal seats to greenlight hires.
• No approval black holes: See exactly who's dragging their feet on that critical offer letter approval.

Example: A 300-person tech company slashed time-to-hire by 22 days by auto-routing candidate shortlists from Manatal to ApproveThis, where VPs could approve via email without logging into yet another system.

Three Ways This Integration Actually Does Something

1. Stop Letting Unvetted Candidates Clog Your Pipeline

The Problem: Junior recruiters adding anyone with a pulse to Manatal, wasting hiring managers' time.

The Fix: Every new Manatal candidate triggers an ApproveThis workflow requiring:

• Basic qualification checks by recruiting leads
• Comp band alignment confirmation from finance
• DEI team review for senior roles

Real-world impact: A healthcare staffing firm reduced unqualified candidate submissions by 68% in 3 months by gatekeeping Manatal entries with ApproveThis checks.

2. Job Reqs That Don't Require 17 Signatures (Seriously)

The Problem: New roles get created in Manatal, then someone realizes budget wasn't approved.

The Fix: ApproveThis workflows that:

• Auto-route job requisitions to department heads + finance based on salary range
• Use calculated fields to flag roles exceeding budget
• Only create the Manatal job post after full sign-off

Pro tip: Set approval thresholds in ApproveThis so sub-$80k roles get auto-approved if within department budgets.

3. No More "Who Approved This Guy?!" Moments

The Problem: Agencies adding client contacts to Manatal without vendor compliance checks.

The Fix: New Manatal contacts trigger ApproveThis workflows requiring:

• NDA verification from legal
• Client service agreement checks
• Background screening for high-risk roles

Why it matters: A recruiting agency avoided a $200k compliance fine by adding ApproveThis checks before adding healthcare clients to Manatal.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than a Coffee Run

If you can forward an email, you can set this up:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Connect Manatal (trigger: new candidate/job/contact)
3. Connect ApproveThis (action: create approval request)
4. Map fields (e.g., pull Manatal candidate salary expectations into ApproveThis' calculated fields)

Critical settings: Enable ApproveThis' vacation delegation so approvals don't stall when Karen from legal is on safari.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

HR Teams

Stop playing phone tag between department heads. Approval chains happen in ApproveThis, with audit trails that make compliance auditors semi-pleasant.

Hiring Managers

Approve candidates via email while stuck in airport hell. No more "Can you resend that PDF?" nonsense.

Finance

Set hard approval thresholds in ApproveThis. If a role exceeds budget, it auto-escalates before hitting Manatal.

Operations

Real-time dashboards show exactly which approvals are bottlenecking hires. Spoiler: It's usually legal.

What This Isn't

A magic bullet. You still need to:

• Define clear approval rules in ApproveThis
• Train managers to actually check their emails

But for companies tired of hiring delays caused by bureaucratic sludge, this integration cuts through the crap.

Bottom Line

Manatal (visit site) handles the hiring machinery. ApproveThis handles the decision-making circus. Together, they ensure your team spends time on candidates who matter, not chasing signatures.
