ApproveThis manages your ATS Anywhere Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Solution

When ATS Anywhere's applicant tracking system meets ApproveThis's approval automation, HR teams gain an unprecedented advantage. This integration through Zapier creates a closed-loop system where candidate management and decision-making happen faster, with full visibility across departments. For growing companies, this combination solves critical challenges: reducing time-to-hire, maintaining compliance, and eliminating approval bottlenecks that often plague multi-stage hiring processes.

ATS Anywhere excels at managing the front-end of recruitment – job postings, applicant sorting, and interview scheduling. ApproveThis adds structured governance to the final mile of hiring decisions. Together, they ensure every offer letter, budget approval, or department headcount request follows proper channels without manual follow-ups.

Why This Integration Matters

Consider a typical hiring scenario without automation: HR screens candidates in ATS Anywhere, then manually emails department heads for approval. Replies get lost in crowded inboxes, finance teams lack visibility into pending requests, and candidates slip through the cracks during delays. The ApproveThis integration eliminates these friction points by turning ATS Anywhere triggers into actionable approval workflows.

Key benefits include:

• 40-60% faster hiring decision cycles
• Automatic audit trails for compliance reporting
• Real-time budget checks before offers are extended

Approvers interact directly through email or ApproveThis's dashboard – no need for ATS Anywhere licenses. This proves invaluable when collaborating with external hiring managers or board members who shouldn't have full system access.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Automated Candidate Review Workflows

When ATS Anywhere detects a new applicant meeting minimum qualifications (e.g., via resume parsing), ApproveThis can:

• Route the candidate to hiring managers with role-specific evaluation criteria
• Escalate high-salary requests to finance automatically
• Trigger reference check tasks upon initial approval

Example: A mid-sized tech firm reduced engineering hire cycle times from 14 to 6 days by auto-routing qualified candidates to team leads via ApproveThis, with built-in salary band validation.

2. Final Hiring Authorization

When an ATS Anywhere applicant reaches the "Offer Extended" stage, ApproveThis ensures:

• Executive sign-off on C-suite hires
• Cross-department budget alignment
• Compliance with diversity hiring quotas

Example: A national retail chain prevented $280K in overspending last quarter by using ApproveThis's calculated fields to compare offer amounts against remaining department budgets during final approvals.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting ATS Anywhere and ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create a Zapier trigger from ATS Anywhere (e.g., "New Applicant" or "Offer Accepted")
2. Map relevant candidate data to ApproveThis fields (salary expectations, position type)
3. Configure approval logic – thresholds, approver groups, escalation rules

Critical integration points include syncing ATS applicant status changes with ApproveThis decisions, and auto-updating candidate records when approvals are granted. Vacation delegation ensures seasonal hiring surges aren't delayed by absent approvers.

Team-Specific Advantages

HR Teams

Recruiters gain real-time visibility into where candidates are stuck in the approval pipeline. Automatic reminders reduce chase-up emails, while approval thresholds prevent unqualified applicants from reaching busy executives.

Hiring Managers

Department leads receive tailored approval requests with candidate comparison data. Sequential routing ensures proper chain-of-command – junior managers can't approve roles outside their pay grade authority.

Finance Departments

Budget holds automatically trigger when offer letters exceed remaining quarterly allocations. CFOs receive summarized reports showing approval patterns and potential overspending risks.

Executive Leadership

C-levels get high-priority dashboards showing critical hires needing attention. Custom workflows ensure they only review candidates who've passed all previous screenings, respecting time constraints.

Beyond Basic Approvals

ApproveThis adds unique value through features most ATS systems lack:

• Conditional Routing: Automatically send remote position approvals to regional directors
• Dynamic Calculations: Compare applicant salary history against internal equity ranges
• Compliance Safeguards: Require DEI officer sign-off if candidate demographics imbalance team composition

These capabilities transform ATS Anywhere from a recruitment tool into a strategic decision platform. Hiring managers maintain agility while finance, legal, and HR enforce governance – no more rogue offers or budget surprises.

The Future of Compliant Hiring

As hiring regulations tighten and remote work complicates team coordination, manual approval processes become liability risks. The ATS Anywhere/ApproveThis integration future-proofs your recruitment strategy by baking compliance into every offer letter and budget decision.

This isn't just about speed – it's about creating an auditable, consistent decision framework that scales with your company. From startups managing their first 10 hires to enterprises onboarding 500+ annually, the combined power of these platforms turns hiring from a administrative task into a strategic advantage.
