Two Tools, One Goal: Better Decisions
Ninehire helps companies hire faster. ApproveThis makes sure those hires get approved faster. Together, they remove bottlenecks in recruitment while keeping everyone accountable. Let’s talk about why this pairing matters.
Why This Integration Works
Ninehire organizes applicants. ApproveThis organizes decisions. When connected through Zapier, they create closed-loop automation for hiring teams. Here’s the breakdown:
What Ninehire Does Best
Ninehire (ninehire.com) centralizes job applications, candidate communication, and interview scheduling. It’s built for HR teams drowning in resumes and hiring managers who need visibility into candidate pipelines.
Where ApproveThis Adds Muscle
ApproveThis brings structure to the approval chaos. When a Ninehire workflow needs a "yes" from finance, legal, or department heads, ApproveThis automates the routing, reminders, and record-keeping. Key features like approval thresholds (auto-approve junior roles under $50k salary) and vacation delegation (no more waiting for busy VPs) keep things moving.
Real-World Use Cases
1. Instant Approvals for New Candidates
The Problem: HR finds a perfect applicant, but the role requires budget sign-off. Emails get buried. The candidate accepts another offer.
The Fix: Connect Ninehire to ApproveThis so every new applicant triggers an approval request with salary details and hiring justification. Approvers get email notifications with one-click approve/reject buttons – no Ninehire login required.
Who Uses This:
- Tech startups needing CFO approval for senior engineering hires
- Healthcare providers requiring compliance sign-off on clinical staff
2. Auto-Update Candidate Statuses
The Problem: Approved hires get stuck in "paperwork limbo." Recruiters manually update candidate records, wasting time.
The Fix: When an ApproveThis request gets approved, Zapier automatically updates the candidate’s status in Ninehire. If denied, Ninehire tags them for future roles or removes them from the pipeline.
Who Uses This:
- Retail chains hiring seasonal staff who need real-time offer tracking
- Enterprise companies managing multi-department approvals for leadership roles
Beyond the Basics: Advanced Scenarios
These integrations get more powerful when you layer in ApproveThis features most teams don’t use:
Calculated Fields for Smarter Approvals
Example: A candidate’s total compensation package (salary + bonuses) automatically calculates in ApproveThis. If it exceeds a department’s budget threshold, the request escalates to the CFO.
Sequential vs. Parallel Approvals
Use ApproveThis to require department head approval before HR finalizes an offer (sequential). Or get legal and finance to review simultaneously (parallel) to shave days off your hiring process.
Setup Made Simple
Here’s how to connect them in 15 minutes:
- Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
- Choose "New Applicant in Ninehire" as the trigger
- Select "Create Approval Request in ApproveThis" as the action
- Map Ninehire fields (candidate name, role, salary) to ApproveThis
- Test with a real candidate application
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s conditional logic to route high-salary roles to different approvers automatically.
Who Benefits Most?
HR Teams
Cut approval delays that cause candidate drop-offs. Track every request in ApproveThis’s dashboard instead of chasing email threads.
Finance Departments
Set budget guardrails with approval thresholds. Get context for every hire request (current team size, remaining budget) without logging into Ninehire.
Hiring Managers
Approve requests directly from email during commute or between meetings. No new logins to remember.
The License Advantage
Here’s what most teams miss: ApproveThis approvers don’t need Ninehire licenses. External stakeholders (board members, clients, legal counsel) can review requests via email while keeping candidate data secure. This saves money and simplifies cross-company hiring committees.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t: Use generic approval reasons like "Budget concerns." Configure ApproveThis to require specific comments when denying requests.
Do: Set up escalation rules in ApproveThis. If a hiring manager doesn’t approve/deny within 48 hours, auto-escalate to their director.
What’s Next?
This integration isn’t just about speed – it’s about audit trails. Every approval decision in ApproveThis includes timestamps, comments, and approver details. During compliance reviews or budget audits, you’ll have clear records showing who approved which hires and why.

Final Thought
Hiring is competitive. The best candidates get offers fast. With ApproveThis and Ninehire connected, your team can say "yes" faster without cutting corners – and that’s how you win the talent war.
