Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge
Modern hiring teams face a critical challenge: moving fast enough to secure top talent while maintaining rigorous oversight of recruitment decisions. JobScore delivers robust applicant tracking capabilities, while ApproveThis adds structured approval workflows to the equation. Together through Zapier, these platforms create a hiring process that's both agile and accountable.
This integration eliminates manual follow-ups between recruiting teams and decision-makers. Hiring managers gain real-time visibility into candidate pipelines, while finance teams maintain control over offer letters and onboarding costs. For growing companies, this combination transforms recruitment from an operational burden into a strategic advantage.
Why This Integration Works
JobScore excels at managing candidate pipelines and job postings, but traditional ATS platforms often create approval bottlenecks. ApproveThis complements this by adding:
- Multi-level approval chains for offers, budgets, and role creation
- Automatic escalation paths for time-sensitive hires
Unlike native ATS approval features, this integration works across departments. Approvers from finance, legal, or external partners can participate without needing JobScore licenses - they simply review requests via email or ApproveThis' portal.
Real-World Hiring Scenarios
1. Structured Candidate Review Processes
When a candidate applies through JobScore (trigger: Candidate Applied), ApproveThis automatically routes their application to relevant stakeholders. A tech startup might configure this to:
- Require technical lead approval for engineering roles
- Trigger finance team review for salaries above $100k
- Send CEO-level alerts for executive hires
Approval thresholds ensure junior staff can greenlight routine hires while flagging exceptions. Calculated fields automatically compare candidate salary expectations against budget remaining for the role.
2. Audit-Ready Hiring Records
Every approval decision in ApproveThis automatically creates timestamped notes in JobScore (trigger: Request Approved/Denied). A healthcare company might use this to:
- Document DEI committee approval for leadership hires
- Attach compliance sign-offs for regulated roles
- Record budget authorization before sending offers
This creates an immutable paper trail without manual data entry - critical for enterprises facing OFCCP audits or public company compliance requirements.
3. Cross-Department Coordination
When hiring managers initiate approval requests in ApproveThis (trigger: New Request), JobScore automatically assigns candidates to specific requisitions. A retail chain could leverage this to:
- Sync seasonal hiring approvals with store-specific quotas
- Trigger equipment provisioning workflows in IT systems
- Update workforce planning dashboards in real time
Vacation delegation in ApproveThis ensures applications keep moving even when key decision-makers are unavailable - a common pain point in industries with cyclical hiring patterns.
Implementation Made Simple
Connecting JobScore and ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:
1. Create Zapier accounts for both platforms
2. Set JobScore's "Candidate Applied" as trigger
3. Map application data to ApproveThis' custom fields
4. Configure approval rules and escalation paths
5. Test with existing JobScore requisitions
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag applications needing special handling. For example, set a rule to require additional interviews for candidates relocating internationally.
Department-Specific Benefits
HR Teams
Reduce time-to-hire by 40% with parallel approvals. Instead of sequentially chasing department heads, configure consensus-based approval groups where all stakeholders review simultaneously.
Finance Departments
Maintain budget control without micromanaging HR. Approval thresholds auto-reject offers exceeding allocated amounts, while conditional logic routes exceptions to the correct budget owner.
Hiring Managers
Get real-time SMS/email alerts when approvals stall. ApproveThis' dashboard shows exactly where each candidate stands in the process, eliminating status update meetings.
Executive Leadership
Gain strategic insights from approval analytics. Track which departments have approval bottlenecks, common rejection reasons, and average time-per-hire across business units.
Beyond Basic Approvals
While the Zapier integration handles core workflows, ApproveThis adds deeper control through:
Conditional Routing: Automatically escalate expired requests to alternate approvers based on role-specific rules.
Dynamic Fields: Pull live data from JobScore into approval forms - show remaining budget for a role alongside candidate salary expectations.
Compliance Safeguards: Enforce mandatory documentation uploads before allowing approvals - crucial for roles requiring certifications or security clearances.

The Future of Hiring Governance

This isn't just about faster approvals. It's about creating a hiring process that scales with your company's growth while maintaining financial discipline and compliance standards.
