ApproveThis manages your Intelliscreen Integration approvals.

Why Approval Workflows Matter in Modern Hiring

In today's competitive talent market, HR teams face mounting pressure to move quickly without compromising quality. The integration between ApproveThis and Intelliscreen solves this challenge by combining automated skills assessments with structured approval processes. This partnership creates a closed-loop system where candidate evaluations trigger immediate review workflows, ensuring no submission gets stuck in email chains or forgotten in shared drives.

How the Integration Works

Through Zapier, Intelliscreen's candidate assessment data automatically generates approval requests in ApproveThis. When a candidate completes their skills test (via Intelliscreen's platform), ApproveThis routes the results to designated reviewers based on preconfigured rules. Approvers receive email notifications with direct approve/reject options, eliminating the need to log into multiple systems.

Key Benefits for Hiring Teams

For HR Managers

Automate the handoff between candidate screening and hiring manager reviews. When a candidate scores above threshold in coding assessments (common in tech recruiting), ApproveThis can automatically escalate their application to engineering leads while routing borderline cases for additional review.

For Department Heads

Maintain control over final hiring decisions without micromanaging screenings. Configure approval chains where junior team members assess technical skills first, then route top candidates to senior staff for culture-fit evaluation using ApproveThis' sequential approval groups.

For External Partners

Agency recruiters love that client stakeholders can approve candidates directly via email without needing access to Intelliscreen. This keeps vendor costs low while maintaining audit trails - every approval or rejection gets logged in ApproveThis with timestamps and comments.

Real-World Implementation Examples

High-Volume Staffing Firms

Imagine a healthcare staffing agency processing 200 nurse candidates weekly. Their Intelliscreen tests clinical knowledge, while ApproveThis handles:

• Auto-approving candidates scoring above 85%
• Flagging mid-range scores for supervisor review
• Routing rejected candidates to talent pools for future openings

This setup reduced their offer-to-interview time by 40% in the first quarter.

Enterprise Tech Hiring

A Fortune 500 company combines Intelliscreen's technical assessments with ApproveThis' compliance features:

• Legal team approvals for international hires
• Diversity & Inclusion committee sign-offs
• Automated NDAs sent via ApproveThis before final interviews

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Connect the Platforms

In your Zapier account, create a new Zap with Intelliscreen as the trigger app. Select either "Candidate Submitted Assessment" or "New Candidate Submission" as the starting event.

Step 2: Map Data Fields

Configure ApproveThis to receive:

Essential Fields:
- Candidate ID
- Assessment score
- Position applied for
Optional Fields:
- Resume URL
- Custom notes from screeners

Step 3: Configure Approval Rules

Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to set auto-approval thresholds. For example:
If [Technical Score] >= 80 AND [Culture Fit Score] >= 7, auto-approve

Advanced Features to Leverage

Conditional Approval Paths

Route candidates who ace technical assessments but lack certifications to department leads for exception approval, while sending fully qualified candidates straight to HR for offer letters.

Vacation Delegation

Prevent bottlenecks when approvers are OOO. ApproveThis automatically reassigns requests to backup reviewers after 24 hours of inactivity, keeping hiring momentum.

Compliance Auditing

All approval decisions get timestamped with IP logging and optional two-factor authentication - critical for regulated industries like finance or healthcare.

Cost Efficiency Note

External approvers (client stakeholders, legal teams, board members) don't need Intelliscreen licenses. They interact solely through ApproveThis' email interface or guest portal, significantly reducing software costs for cross-functional hiring teams.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Over-Automation

Don't set approval thresholds too high initially. Start with manual reviews for borderline candidates, then use ApproveThis' analytics to identify patterns before enabling auto-approvals.

Underutilizing Data

Feed approval decision times from ApproveThis back into Intelliscreen. If certain assessment types consistently delay approvals (like coding challenges), revise test length or difficulty.

FAQs

Can candidates track approval status?

While ApproveThis doesn't expose internal workflows externally, you can configure automated emails through Zapier to notify candidates when their application reaches key stages.

How does this compare to built-in approval features?
