ApproveThis manages your Breezy HR Integration approvals.

When Recruiting Meets Reality

Let's be real – hiring processes often look like a game of broken telephone. Recruiters chase hiring managers for feedback. Finance ghosts HR on budget approvals. Candidates get stuck in limbo because someone's on vacation. Breezy HR already cuts through the resume tsunami, but approvals? That's where the wheels fall off.

What Each Tool Does When You're Not Looking

Breezy HR is your recruiting quarterback – posts jobs, tracks applicants, moves candidates through stages. But when it's time to get actual decisions? That's where spreadsheets and frantic Slack messages take over.

ApproveThis is the enforcer – routes requests to the right people, chases slackers (politely), and keeps a paper trail. But it doesn't care if you're approving a $10k software purchase or a janitorial services contract.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Together, they handle the two worst parts of hiring: the admin grind and the decision blackhole. Breezy organizes the chaos. ApproveThis forces humans to actually decide. No more "I thought YOU approved this hire!"

Real Sh*t This Fixes

• Offer letters sent before budget approval (classic)
• Candidates ghosted because an approver was OOO
• Legal team holding up roles because they're CC'd on 37 emails

Use Cases That Don't Make You Want to Swear

1. "Why Are We Interviewing This Person?" Prevention

The Zap: New Breezy candidate → ApproveThis request to hiring manager + finance.

Who Cares: Tech startups scaling from 100 to 200 employees. CFO needs to greenlight headcount before recruiters spend 3 weeks courting a candidate.

Secret Sauce: Approval thresholds auto-approve roles under $80k, but escalate to VP if over. Finance doesn't get spammed for junior roles.

2. The "Hurry Up and Wait" Special

The Zap: Candidate reaches "Final Interview" stage → Approval request to department head.

Who Cares: Retail chains hiring seasonal staff. Store managers approve temp hires, regional directors handle full-time. No more candidates accepting offers only to get vetoed later.

Cool Factor: Vacation delegation means if the VP is skiing in Aspen, requests automatically reroute to their second-in-command.

3. The Paper Trail They'll Actually Use

The Zap: Approved offer in ApproveThis → Creates candidate in Breezy with all terms logged.

Who Cares: Healthcare providers needing audit trails for compliance. Every approval is timestamped with comments – no more "I never approved that salary!"

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Connect Breezy HR → Choose trigger (new candidate/stage change)
3. Connect ApproveThis → Set approval rules
4. Test with a real job req (pro tip: use "Test Candidate" in Breezy first)

Department Wins That Aren't BS

HR Teams

Stop being the messenger. Recruiters can see real-time where approvals are stuck instead of playing carrier pigeon between departments.

Finance

Approvals happen in their existing tools (email, Slack). No need to log into Breezy to see why marketing wants another "content strategist".

Hiring Managers

Get mobile approvals while they're actually in interviews. Ever approved a candidate while waiting for your latte? Now you can.

Things Your Competitors Won't Tell You

Approvers don't need Breezy seats. External clients or contractors can approve without access to your HR system. Useful for agencies hiring on behalf of clients.

Calculated fields prevent tantrums. Auto-calculate total comp (salary + bonus + stock) during approval so everyone's clear on real costs.

When to Use This vs. When to Keep Suffering

Use This If:
- You've had an offer rescinded because of approval delays
- Hiring managers complain about "too many systems"
- Auditors have asked about your hiring paper trail

Don't Bother If:
- Your entire company fits in one Slack channel
- You enjoy forwarding approval emails 14 times

Bottom Line

Breezy HR handles the "who", ApproveThis handles the "yes". Together, they cut hiring timelines by making indecision visible and fixable. No more candidates slipping through cracks because someone forgot to click approve.
