How ApproveThis + OMG Sales Assessments Cuts Approval Chaos for Scaling Teams

When Bureaucracy Meets Its Match

Let’s be real: nothing kills momentum like waiting for Karen in accounting to approve a candidate assessment. Or chasing down six managers to sign off on a sales hire who’s already taken another offer. This is why companies between 50-5,000 employees are wiring ApproveThis and OMG Sales Assessments together via Zapier – to turn approval gridlock into a well-oiled machine.

Why This Combo Works Like Caffeine for Operations

ApproveThis isn’t just another digital rubber stamp. It’s built for teams drowning in multi-step approvals across departments. OMG’s assessments? They’re the gold standard for figuring out whether a sales candidate can actually sell ice to penguins. Together, they solve two critical problems:

For HR/TA teams: No more manually chasing down hiring managers every time an assessment comes in. Auto-route approvals based on role, department, or assessment scores.

For sales leadership: Stop letting great candidates slip through because your approval process moves slower than a cold call quota. Get real-time visibility into where each hire stands.

Bonus perk: External partners or clients can approve assessments without needing access to OMG’s platform (saves license costs and security headaches).

Three Ways This Integration Actually Gets Used

1. The “Stop Wasting Our Recruiters’ Time” Workflow

What happens: OMG processes a candidate assessment → Zapier fires it to ApproveThis → auto-routes to department heads based on role.

Who cares: Tech startups scaling from 100 to 500 employees. Their recruiters were spending 20 hours/week playing approval tag. Now approvals happen in Slack or email without logins.

ApproveThis muscle used: Conditional routing + approval thresholds. Example: auto-approve candidates scoring above 85%, escalate low scores to VP.

2. The “We Need This Link Yesterday” Automation

What happens: New approval request in ApproveThis → Zapier triggers OMG to generate candidate assessment links instantly.

Who cares: Sales agencies hiring 50+ reps/year. Used to take 2 days between approval and sending assessments. Now candidates get links before the recruiter finishes their coffee.

Secret sauce: Approval groups with parallel approvals. Marketing needs to sign off on employer branding alignment? Add them to the chain without slowing down sales leads.

3. The “Decision Made, Now Do Something” Follow-Through

What happens: Request approved/denied in ApproveThis → Zapier tells OMG to generate links or trigger decline emails.

Who cares: Enterprise teams with compliance requirements. Full audit trail showing exactly when assessments were approved and next steps taken.

Underrated feature: Vacation delegation. Approvals auto-reassign if a manager’s OOO – no more “waiting for Geoff’s ski trip to end.”

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier’s the middleman here, and that’s a good thing. You’re not coding anything. Basic flow:

1. Connect OMG Sales Assessments to Zapier (use their actual auth link, not placeholder)
2. Pick your trigger – new assessment, approval completed, etc.
3. Map critical fields: candidate IDs, scores, role types
4. Test with a real candidate (pro tip: use your CEO’s info for laughs)

Most teams get this live in under 45 minutes. Seriously – we timed a sales org while they did it between demos.

Why Your CFO Won’t Hate This

Licensing costs tank when external approvers don’t need OMG seats. Client-facing teams love inviting partners to approve assessments via email without platform access. Plus, ApproveThis scales way cheaper than building custom approval logic in-house.

Real Teams Using This Right Now

Mid-market SaaS companies: Route high-potential sales candidates (OMG score >80%) directly to CRO for fast-track offers.

Staffing agencies: Auto-decline candidates below threshold scores before human review, saving 100+ hours/month.

Enterprise sales orgs: Use calculated fields to flag candidates needing extra compliance checks based on territory or product line.

Objections We’ve Already Heard (And Shut Down)

“We already use [some clunky HR tool] for approvals.” Cool. ApproveThis isn’t an HRIS – it’s the layer that connects your existing stack. Think of it as approval glue.

“Our process is too complex.” Conditional logic handles 90% of edge cases. If you’re still manually managing approvals in 2024, that’s a you problem.

How to Not Screw This Up

• Do: Start with one high-volume approval type (e.g., entry-level sales hires)
• Don’t: Try to boil the ocean with 50 workflows day one
• Do: Use approval thresholds to auto-handle clear yes/no candidates
• Don’t: Forget to set up vacation delegates – it’s 2024, people travel

Bottom Line for Busy People

If your hiring managers are still Slack-bombing each other with “Did you approve the Johnson file?” – you’re bleeding candidates to faster competitors. This integration isn’t magic, but it’s the closest thing to cloning your most organized ops person.

ApproveThis plays nice with OMG Sales Assessments via Zapier – no PhD required. Set it up before your next hiring sprint, or keep losing great candidates to companies that did.
