ApproveThis manages your Huntool Integration approvals.

When “Move Fast” Meets “Don’t Screw Up”

Let’s cut to the chase: hiring is messy. Candidates get stuck in limbo between resume reviews and offer letters. Hiring managers ghost recruiters. Budget approvals for that critical role get lost in Slack. And everyone’s favorite game? “Who’s responsible for this decision?”

Huntool tracks candidates like a pro, but tracking isn’t deciding. ApproveThis forces decisions to happen – cleanly, quickly, and with receipts. Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve got a system where every “maybe” turns into a “yes” or “no” before your team starts finger-pointing.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck

Huntool tells you where a candidate is in your pipeline. ApproveThis decides what happens next. Together, they turn “we’ll circle back” into actual progress. Here’s why it works:

• No more license tax: Approvers (even external clients) don’t need Huntool access. They get requests via email, click approve/deny, and you keep moving. No $50/month seat for someone who just needs to say “yes.”
• Decisions stick to the process: Hunting for a C-suite role? Maybe legal needs to vet the NDA before the final interview. ApproveThis adds checkpoints that Huntool can’t enforce on its own.
• Budgets don’t blow up: Auto-approve roles under $100k, but require CFO sign-off above that. ApproveThis’ thresholds keep you from accidentally offering $200k for a mid-level position.

Real Scenarios Where This Actually Matters

This isn’t about “streamlining workflows.” It’s about fixing specific crap that wastes your team’s time:

Use Case 1: “Why is This Candidate Still in Review?!”

The Problem: Your recruiters push candidates to “Client Review” in Huntool… and then radio silence. The hiring manager swears they never got the email. Two weeks later, the candidate takes another offer.

The Fix: When Huntool moves a profile to “Client Review,” ApproveThis pings the hiring manager AND their backup (thanks to vacation delegation) via email. They have 24 hours to approve or it escalates. No more ghosting.

Use Case 2: “Oops, We Can’t Afford This Hire”

The Problem: Recruiters get excited, negotiate a stellar offer… only to have finance reject it because nobody checked the budget.

The Fix: ApproveThis uses calculated fields to compare the offer against remaining budget (pulled from your spreadsheet via Zapier). Under budget? Auto-approved. Over? Finance gets a request with a breakdown before the offer goes out.

Use Case 3: “Compliance is Going to Nuke This”

The Problem: Your team sourced a great candidate from a competitor. Legal needs to check non-compete risks, but nobody loops them in until it’s almost too late.

The Fix: Any candidate from a flagged company (automatically detected in Huntool) triggers a parallel approval to legal in ApproveThis. The recruiter can’t schedule the final interview until compliance signs off.

How to Set This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can make a sandwich, you can connect Huntool and ApproveThis:

1. Zapier does the heavy lifting: Create a Zap that triggers when Huntool moves a profile to your critical step (e.g., “Offer Extended”).
2. ApproveThis takes over: The Zap creates an approval request with candidate details, notes, and any budget/NDA alerts pulled from Huntool.
3. Decisions flow back: Once approved/denied, update Huntool automatically or notify the recruiter via Slack. No manual status updates.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ conditional logic to route requests. Example: Engineering roles go to the CTO, sales roles to the VP of Sales. No more sending CFOs resumes to review.

Who Actually Cares About This? (Team Breakdown)

Recruiting Teams: Stop playing secretary. ApproveThis chases down approvals so you can actually close candidates.

Finance: Get auto-alerts only when offers exceed budget. No more surprise $300k base salaries.

External Clients: Agencies love this – clients approve candidates via email without needing Huntool logins. Fewer “How do I log in?!” calls at midnight.

Legal/Compliance: Get pulled in early when it matters (like non-compete checks), not as an afterthought.

This Isn’t Magic, It’s Just Less Broken

ApproveThis doesn’t replace Huntool – it fixes the part Huntool ignores: getting humans to decide. You’ll still track candidates in Huntool. But instead of hoping someone reviews them, you’ll force the issue. Deadlines. Escalations. Automatic reminders. All the stuff that actually makes hiring happen.
