Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge
Modern HR teams face a critical challenge: moving fast without compromising quality. Testlify delivers precise candidate assessments while ApproveThis ensures airtight decision-making processes. Together, they create a hiring engine that balances speed with accountability.
This integration isn't about adding complexity - it's about removing roadblocks. When candidate data flows automatically between Testlify's analytics and ApproveThis' approval workflows, you eliminate the gaps where mistakes happen and opportunities get lost.
Why This Integration Changes the Game
Testlify identifies top talent through structured assessments. ApproveThis validates key decisions through structured approvals. Connect them via Zapier, and you get:
- Faster candidate progression without bypassing oversight
- Automatic audit trails from assessment to hiring decision
Consider a tech startup scaling from 50 to 200 employees. Their recruiters use Testlify to filter candidates but need engineering managers to verify technical assessments. With ApproveThis, those managers get automated approval requests containing Testlify scorecards - no login required. Decisions happen in hours, not days.
Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI
1. Quality Control for High-Volume Hiring
When a candidate advances to "Technical Review" in Testlify, ApproveThis automatically:
- Routes the assessment to lead developers
- Applies conditional logic based on test scores
- Triggers offer letters upon approval
A staffing agency used this workflow to reduce mis-hires by 22% while maintaining their 72-hour placement guarantee. Approval groups in ApproveThis ensured multiple senior developers reviewed borderline cases without creating bottlenecks.
2. Compliance-Driven Candidate Advancement
Financial institutions require strict validation of hiring decisions. This integration creates an unbroken chain from Testlify's aptitude testing to ApproveThis' documented approvals. One regional bank automated compliance reporting for 89% of their entry-level roles, cutting audit prep time by 17 hours monthly.
3. Dynamic Workflow Adjustments
Approval thresholds in ApproveThis adapt to Testlify's scoring. For example:
Candidate scores 85%+ → Automatic approval with manager notification
Scores 70-84% → Team lead review required
Below 70% → Application archived
A SaaS company implemented this logic to handle seasonal hiring spikes, processing 340% more applications without adding HR staff.
Technical Setup Made Simple
Connect your tools in 15 minutes using Zapier:
- Create a Zapier account (if new to the platform)
- Choose Testlify as your trigger app
- Select "Candidate Stage Changed" as the trigger event
- Connect ApproveThis as your action app
- Map Testlify's candidate data to ApproveThis fields
- Test with live data and activate
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate approval criteria based on Testlify's assessment percentages. No coding required.
Cross-Functional Benefits
HR Teams
Reduce time-to-hire by eliminating manual follow-ups. Vacation delegation in ApproveThis ensures approvals never stall because someone's OOO.
Hiring Managers
Get decision-ready packages containing Testlify scores, candidate comparisons, and role-specific benchmarks. Approve/deny directly from email.
Finance Teams
Embed budget checks into approval workflows. If a Testlify assessment suggests a senior candidate, ApproveThis can require compensation committee review before proceeding.
The Hidden Advantage: External Collaboration
Client-facing teams often struggle with third-party approvals. With ApproveThis:
→ Clients review Testlify results without needing Testlify licenses
→ Agencies maintain control over assessment data
→ All feedback is captured in a centralized audit trail
A consulting firm uses this approach for executive placements. Clients receive curated candidate packages via ApproveThis, provide feedback, and trigger next steps - all without accessing the firm's Testlify account.
Beyond Basic Automation
While simple triggers get you started, ApproveThis' advanced features unlock true transformation:
Real-Time Calculations
Automatically flag candidates where Testlify's culture fit score contradicts technical results, routing these cases to specialized approvers.
Conditional Escalation
If a candidate's Testlify assessment expires during review, ApproveThis can either auto-archive the request or escalate for priority handling.
Multi-Stage Gates
Require consecutive approvals at different Testlify stages: initial screening → technical assessment → final interview. Each gate has unique approvers and criteria.

The Future of Structured Hiring
Organizations that master approval-automated hiring will outperform competitors in three key areas:
Speed: Reduce offer-to-acceptance cycles by verifying decisions in real time
Quality: Ensure every hire meets cross-functional standards
Compliance: Automatically document every critical decision point
The integration between ApproveThis and Testlify isn't just about connecting apps - it's about connecting strategy to execution. When assessments drive approvals and approvals trigger actions, you create a hiring process that's both agile and accountable.
