Why Combine ApproveThis with Two Ladders?

Businesses thrive when decisions happen quickly and data flows seamlessly between teams. But too often, approval bottlenecks and disconnected tools slow down progress. ApproveThis and Two Ladders solve this problem together. By connecting these platforms through Zapier, companies automate critical processes like lead qualification, budget approvals, and client onboarding2014ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Two Ladders excels at managing leads and optimizing recruitment pipelines, while ApproveThis brings structure to decision-making with customizable workflows. When integrated, they create a closed-loop system: leads trigger approvals, approvals update lead statuses, and everyone stays aligned without manual follow-ups. This synergy is particularly powerful for HR teams, sales departments, and agencies that need to move fast while maintaining compliance.

Key Business Benefits of the Integration

Combining these tools isn2019t just about saving time2014it2019s about eliminating friction in high-stakes processes. Here2019s how they work together:

Accelerated Lead-to-Hire Cycles

Two Ladders captures candidate leads, while ApproveThis automatically routes them to hiring managers for review. For example, a staffing agency could set up approval thresholds: entry-level roles get auto-approved, while executive candidates require committee review. This reduces time-to-hire by 40% in real-world scenarios.

Transparent Budget Controls

When recruiters submit candidate packages through Two Ladders, ApproveThis can enforce salary band approvals. Finance teams gain visibility into pending offers, and HR avoids overspending2014all without switching tools.

Cross-Team Collaboration Without License Sprawl

ApproveThis approvers don2019t need Two Ladders licenses to review requests. External clients or department heads can approve directly via email, keeping software costs predictable. This is ideal for agencies managing multiple client accounts or enterprises with complex approval chains.

Real-World Use Cases: Where the Integration Shines

1. Automating Lead Qualification

When a new lead enters Two Ladders (like a job applicant or sales prospect), ApproveThis can trigger multi-tiered reviews:

  • Staffing Agencies: Route high-value candidates to client stakeholders for fast sign-off
  • SaaS Companies: Require legal approval for enterprise deals over $50K using calculated fields

A marketing agency used this setup to reduce client response times from 72 hours to 6 hours by embedding approval links directly in Slack notifications.

2. Closing the Loop on Approved Opportunities

When an ApproveThis request gets approved (like a budget increase or project kickoff), Two Ladders can create a new lead or update existing records. For example:

  • Consulting Firms: Turn approved project proposals into tracked client leads with attached contracts
  • HR Departments: Convert approved job requisitions into active candidate searches

Step-by-Step Integration Setup

Connecting the platforms takes under 15 minutes using Zapier. Here2019s how:

  1. Create a Zapier account (if you don2019t have one)
  2. Choose your trigger: 201cNew Lead201d in Two Ladders or 201cNew Request201d in ApproveThis
  3. Map critical fields like lead source, approval amount, or requester details
  4. Test with a live request to ensure data flows correctly

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis2019 calculated fields to auto-flag high-priority leads. For instance, if a Two Ladders lead has 201cUrgent Hiring201d in the notes, route it directly to the HR director.

Team-Specific Advantages

Sales Teams

Close deals faster by embedding approval steps into the sales process. When a rep marks a lead as 201cContract Ready201d in Two Ladders, ApproveThis automatically notifies legal for review. Deals move forward the same day instead of waiting for email threads.

HR Departments

Maintain compliance without slowing down recruitment. Hiring managers get instant approval requests for candidate offers that exceed budget. Approvers can respond via mobile email during commute times2014no login required.

Operations Managers

Track approval metrics alongside lead conversion rates. ApproveThis2019 dashboard shows which bottlenecks delay hires (e.g., Department A takes 3x longer to approve), while Two Ladders reveals the financial impact of those delays.

Beyond Basic Approvals: Advanced Features

While the core integration handles lead/approval sync, ApproveThis adds deeper control:

Approval Escalations

If a Two Ladders lead isn2019t approved within 24 hours, automatically escalate to a department head. Critical for time-sensitive roles like healthcare or seasonal hiring.

Conditional Workflows
