ApproveThis manages your Jobma approvals.

Two Platforms, One Goal: Better Hiring at Scale

Modern hiring teams face a critical challenge: moving quickly without compromising quality. Jobma's video interviewing platform helps employers assess candidates efficiently, while ApproveThis brings structure to the decision-making process. When connected through Zapier, these tools create a closed-loop system where interview data directly fuels approval workflows – and vice versa.

This integration isn't about replacing human judgment. It's about eliminating the administrative drag that slows down hiring. Consider that 57% of recruiters say delayed internal feedback is their biggest bottleneck (LinkedIn Talent Trends). By automating the handoff between candidate evaluation and hiring manager review, teams can cut days from their time-to-hire metric while maintaining rigorous standards.

How Approval Automation Complements Digital Interviews

Jobma excels at structured candidate assessments through features like one-way video interviews and proctored skill tests. ApproveThis adds three critical layers to this process:

1. Decision Accountability: Every "proceed" or "hold" recommendation from recruiters triggers a formal approval chain, creating an audit trail for compliance.

2. Cross-Functional Alignment: Hiring managers, department heads, and external clients can review candidates without needing direct access to Jobma's platform.

3. Conditional Logic: Auto-approve candidates who score above threshold values in Jobma assessments, while flagging borderline cases for manual review.

Real-World Use Cases for Staffing Firms and Internal HR Teams

High-Volume Staffing: Quality Control at Scale

Staffing agencies using Jobma to screen temporary workers can set up automatic approval requests when candidates complete interviews. ApproveThis routes these requests based on client-specific rules – some require hiring manager sign-off, others auto-approve candidates with perfect assessment scores. Vacation delegation ensures summer PTO doesn't stall placements.

Enterprise Hiring: Collaborative Decision Making

For roles requiring panel interviews, ApproveThis collects feedback from all interviewers in Jobma, then applies consensus-based approval rules. The legal team automatically reviews any candidate flagged for visa sponsorship requirements via conditional routing.

University Recruitment: Student-Centric Workflows

Campus recruiters using Jobma for early career hiring can trigger approval requests that factor in GPA thresholds (via calculated fields) and internship eligibility dates. Department chairs approve directly from email without software training.

Technical Integration: How It Works

Connecting Jobma and ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes through Zapier. Essential steps:

1. Create Zapier triggers for Jobma interview completions
2. Map candidate data to ApproveThis request templates
3. Configure approval rules based on assessment scores
4. Set up bi-directional status updates

Key advantage: External approvers (like client contacts) only need email access – no additional software licenses required. Approval thresholds automatically escalate urgent roles after 24 hours of inactivity.

Critical Features That Make This Pairing Work

For Jobma Users

Leverage existing video assessments as approval triggers rather than rebuilding processes. Interview scorecards flow directly into approval requests, maintaining context for decision-makers.

For ApproveThis Subscribers

Dynamic fields pull real-time candidate data from Jobma, enabling rules like "Auto-approve IT candidates scoring above 85% on coding tests." Multi-tiered approval chains align with organizational hierarchy.

Teams That Benefit Most

HR Operations

Reduce follow-up emails by 60% with centralized tracking of which candidates are pending approval. Real-time dashboards show bottlenecks in specific departments.

Hiring Managers

Approve candidates directly from mobile with full access to Jobma interview recordings. Receive automated reminders when high-priority roles await review.

Executive Leadership

Gain visibility into approval cycle times and candidate conversion rates through built-in reporting. Identify departments needing additional hiring resources.

Implementation Best Practices

Do: Start with high-volume roles first (customer support, seasonal staff) to maximize ROI. Use calculated fields to auto-approve top 10% of candidates. Sync Jobma assessment scores into ApproveThis custom fields for data-driven decisions.

Don't: Over-engineer workflows for executive-level hires needing personalized handling. Avoid cascading approval chains that could delay time-sensitive offers.

Pro Tip: Combine Jobma's proctoring features with ApproveThis' audit trails for compliance-heavy industries like healthcare and finance.

Beyond Basic Approvals: Advanced Scenarios

Compensation Alignment

When candidates request salaries above budgeted ranges, ApproveThis triggers executive review workflows while maintaining their Jobma interview status in "hold" mode.

Diversity Hiring Initiatives

Flag candidates from underrepresented groups (based on voluntary disclosures) for additional approval steps ensuring fair consideration.

Contingent Workforce Management

Auto-approve returning contractors with perfect Jobma assessment scores while routing new applicants through full review cycles.

Why This Integration Matters Now

In 2024, the average corporate job opening receives 250+ applications (Glassdoor). HR teams using disconnected systems waste 14 hours weekly chasing approvals (McKinsey). This integration isn't about replacing human judgment – it's about eliminating the friction between evaluation and action. By embedding structured approvals directly into the interview workflow, companies can make faster, more auditable hiring decisions without sacrificing quality.

Final note: While AI-driven hiring tools proliferate, 82% of candidates still want human interaction at critical stages (LinkedIn). ApproveThis and Jobma maintain that human touch while automating the administrative overhead that frustrates both recruiters and applicants.
