ApproveThis manages your Pinpoint Integration approvals.

Why Your Hiring Team Needs This Integration

Let's be real - hiring processes turn into bureaucratic nightmares faster than you can say "ghosted candidate." Pinpoint helps you track applicants, while ApproveThis handles the red tape. Connect them through Zapier, and suddenly you're moving candidates through the pipeline without chasing down managers' signatures or playing calendar tag.

What Happens When Approval Software Meets Recruitment Tech

Pinpoint organizes your hiring chaos. ApproveThis organizes your decision-making chaos. Together, they create guardrails that keep things moving fast without letting important checks fall through the cracks. Think of it like putting your approval process on autopilot while keeping humans firmly in control of the big decisions.

3 Ways This Combo Saves HR Teams From Themselves

1. No More "Who Approved This?!" Moments

When a Pinpoint application moves to the offer stage, ApproveThis automatically pings the right exec for budget sign-off. We worked with a 200-person tech company that reduced offer letter delays by 70% just by linking salary approvals to Pinpoint's pipeline stages.

2. Kill Zombie Job Postings

New Pinpoint job listings auto-trigger approval requests in ApproveThis. Marketing gets reminded to review the job description's brand voice. Finance confirms the salary band. Legal checks the compliance stuff. Everyone does their part before the job goes live.

3. Escape Email Approval Purgatory

ApproveThis' email-based approvals mean department heads can approve reqs from their phones while Pinpoint automatically updates candidate statuses. No logins. No passwords. Just a clean "Approve/Reject" button that works even for that CTO who still uses AOL email.

Real-World Fixes for Annoying Problems

A manufacturing client uses approval thresholds to auto-approve replacement hires under $75k, but require CEO sign-off for new positions. Their HR director told us: "It's like we finally plugged the leak where middle managers were accidentally growing headcount."

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' vacation delegation so approvals don't stall when Karen from Legal is trekking in Patagonia. Pinpoint candidates keep moving forward, completely unaware of your team's PTO drama.

Why This Isn't Just HR's Problem

Finance Teams

Get automatic alerts when approved hires exceed budget thresholds. No more end-of-quarter surprises because someone fast-tracked a senior dev hire.

Department Heads

Set up parallel approvals in ApproveThis where both the hiring manager and team lead must greenlight a candidate before Pinpoint triggers the offer letter.

External Partners

Agency recruiters can submit candidates through Pinpoint without getting access to your full ApproveThis setup. Clients see only what they need to approve via email - no extra licenses required.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. Connect the dots in Zapier: Pick your Pinpoint triggers (new job, stage change) and pair them with ApproveThis' "Create Request" action.
2. Build approval logic that doesn't suck: Use ApproveThis' conditional rules like "Auto-approve junior roles but escalate senior hires."
3. Test with real data: Move a dummy candidate through Pinpoint to ensure approvals fire correctly before going live.

Bonus move: Add calculated fields in ApproveThis to auto-flag applications where the proposed salary exceeds the Pinpoint job listing's range by more than 10%.

The Nerd Stuff You'll Actually Care About

ApproveThis plays nice with Pinpoint's existing security - approvers only see the data they need. No accidental exposure of sensitive candidate info during the approval process. Plus, all decisions audit trail in both systems, so you can finally answer "Who approved this candidate?" without digging through Slack archives.

When to Steal These Ideas

This integration isn't just for enterprises. A 50-person startup uses it to ensure every hire gets approved by both the technical founder and COO without slowing down their rapid scaling. Meanwhile, a 4,000-employee retailer links Pinpoint to ApproveThis for location-specific approvals across 200+ stores.

Common Screwups to Avoid

• Don't try to mirror all Pinpoint fields in ApproveThis - only pull what approvers actually need
• Remember to set up rejection workflows in ApproveThis that update Pinpoint statuses
• Use Zapier filters to prevent auto-approving internal mobility moves vs external hires

Bottom Line

If your hiring process involves more follow-up emails than actual recruiting, this integration acts like a productivity defibrillator. It's not about removing human decisions - it's about removing the crap that slows those decisions down.
