Why Approval Automation Matters in Recruitment

Modern hiring teams face a critical challenge: balancing speed with accountability. Delayed approvals cause candidates to lose interest, while rushed decisions lead to mismatched hires. ApproveThis and TRAFFIT solve this through Zapier-powered automation, creating a bridge between candidate management and structured decision-making.

ApproveThis brings precision to approvals with features like multi-stage workflows and automatic delegation, while TRAFFIT excels at organizing talent pipelines. Together, they ensure hiring managers can act quickly without bypassing necessary oversight – perfect for scaling businesses that value both agility and compliance.

Core Integration Benefits

Connecting these platforms via Zapier unlocks three strategic advantages:

  • Cross-Team Alignment: HR teams initiate requests in TRAFFIT that route to finance, department heads, or external partners via ApproveThis – all without license conflicts.
  • Audit-Ready Hiring: Every candidate decision (hires, rejections, pipeline changes) automatically generates an approval trail meeting SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards.
  • Resource Optimization: Reduce manual follow-ups by 60% using ApproveThis' email approvals and TRAFFIT's candidate status triggers.

Real-World Use Cases

1. High-Volume Staffing Agencies

Agencies placing 100+ weekly contractors use the New Candidate in Job trigger. When TRAFFIT detects a candidate added to a role, ApproveThis:

  1. Routes requests to client managers via email (no TRAFFIT logins required)
  2. Applies rate card calculations using dynamic fields
  3. Auto-approves candidates below $50/hour thresholds

Result: 22% faster client submissions for a healthcare staffing firm.

2. Enterprise Onboarding Compliance

Global companies trigger approvals when TRAFFIT marks a candidate as hired. ApproveThis then:

  • Routes background check approvals to regional legal teams
  • Syncs equipment procurement requests to IT
  • Updates TRAFFIT with approval timestamps for audit reports

A manufacturing client reduced onboarding delays from 14 days to 48 hours.

3. Contingent Workforce Governance

When candidates are deleted in TRAFFIT, ApproveThis:

  1. Requires director approval for pipeline removals
  2. Documents reasons via custom rejection fields
  3. Archives decisions alongside candidate profiles

This prevented $240K in erroneous terminations for a logistics company last quarter.

Technical Setup Guide

Implement in 45 minutes with these steps:

  1. Connect Accounts:
    Authorize TRAFFIT (traffit.com) and ApproveThis in Zapier
  2. Build Triggers:
    Select TRAFFIT events like "Candidate Hired" or "New Note Added"
  3. Map Approval Logic:
    Configure ApproveThis steps – add thresholds, groups, and dynamic fields from TRAFFIT data
  4. Enable Two-Way Sync:
    Set ApproveThis "Request Approved" triggers to update TRAFFIT candidate statuses

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-validate salary ranges against TRAFFIT’s compensation bands.

Department-Specific Wins

HR Teams

Cut approval follow-ups by 75% using automated reminders tied to TRAFFIT candidate deadlines. Escalate stale requests to alternate approvers with vacation delegation.

Finance

ApproveThis’ budget thresholds auto-reject offers exceeding TRAFFIT’s posted salary ranges. Real-time dashboards show open hiring commitments.

Legal/Compliance

All candidate deletions or contract changes require documented approval. Audit reports map TRAFFIT activity to decision trails.

Advanced Feature Pairings

Beyond basic triggers, leverage:

  • Conditional Routing: Route senior roles to C-suite approvers based on TRAFFIT’s "Job Level" field
  • Dynamic Deadlines: Set approval windows matching TRAFFIT’s "Candidate Response By" dates
  • Bulk Approvals: Process 50+ candidate shortlists from TRAFFIT in batch mode

Why This Integration Works

TRAFFIT manages the who and what of hiring – candidates, jobs, and interactions. ApproveThis handles the how and when – decision paths, compliance checks, and timing. Together via Zapier, they create closed-loop recruitment automation:

  1. TRAFFIT detects candidate changes
  2. ApproveThis enforces governance
  3. Decisions feed back into TRAFFIT
  4. Analytics refine both systems

A tech startup using this loop improved offer acceptance rates by 18% through faster leadership approvals.

Getting Started

To implement:

  1. Start an ApproveThis trial (no credit card)
  2. Connect your TRAFFIT account in Zapier’s interface
  3. Clone pre-built templates or build custom workflows

For complex environments, schedule a demo showcasing military-grade security controls and enterprise SLA options.

Final Considerations

Key implementation insights:

  • Do: Sync TRAFFIT custom fields to drive ApproveThis routing rules
  • Don’t: Over-notify approvers – use digest emails for minor requests
  • Test: Approval chains with dummy TRAFFIT candidates first

Remember: ApproveThis approvers only need email access, making it ideal for external hiring partners and matrixed organizations.
