ApproveThis manages your Polymer Integration approvals.

When Your ATS and Approval System Actually Talk

Let's cut to the chase: your hiring team uses Polymer to track candidates because it's good at what it does. But the second you need approvals – for job postings budgets, final hiring decisions, or compliance checks – everyone's stuck chasing down executives over email. ApproveThis fixes that leaky bucket by connecting directly to Polymer through Zapier, turning "approval limbo" into a closed-loop system.

This isn't about replacing your ATS. It's about letting Polymer handle candidates and ApproveThis handle decisions – with zero manual data entry. When these two platforms work together, you get hiring processes that move at the speed your business actually operates.

Why This Combo Works for Companies Your Size

If you're between 50-5,000 employees, you've hit the sweet spot where ad-hoc approvals become a liability. Here's what changes when Polymer and ApproveThis share data:

• No more approval black holes: Every hire, job post, or application that needs a sign-off gets automatically routed – with deadlines.
• HR stays in Polymer, approvers stay out of the weeds: Approvers get requests via email or Slack. They don't need Polymer logins to say yes/no.
• Audit trails that don't suck: Try finding last quarter's hiring approval in a Slack thread. We'll wait.

Real Scenarios Where This Actually Matters

1. Hiring Compliance for Regulated Industries

Healthcare, finance, or government contractors can't just wing it. When Polymer marks a candidate as hired, ApproveThis can:

• Require legal/compliance team sign-off before offers go out
• Auto-escalate if approvals take too long (because deadlines matter)

Example: A healthcare startup needs 3 directors to approve any nurse hire. Without this integration? HR manually collates emails. With it? Polymer triggers the request, approvers click once via email, and HR gets notified in Polymer when cleared.

2. High-Volume Retail Hiring

When seasonal hiring spikes, Polymer's managing hundreds of applications. ApproveThis adds thresholds: Store managers can approve roles under $15/hr automatically, anything above goes to district leads. Prevents bottlenecks without losing control.

3. Global Tech Companies with Distributed Teams

Engineering lead in Berlin needs to approve a candidate sourced by US HR. With vacation delegation in ApproveThis, if the lead's OOO, it routes to their deputy automatically. No Polymer access needed for either.

ApproveThis Features You'll Actually Use Here

We're not listing every bell and whistle – just what matters for hiring workflows:

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve junior roles under $X salary, everything else goes up the chain. Set it once, stop micromanaging.

Calculated Fields: Automatically flag requests that exceed budget based on Polymer's offer data. No spreadsheet gymnastics.

Real-Time Tracking: See which hires are stuck waiting on who. If VP Sally is the bottleneck, nudge her – don't just assume.

How to Connect Them (It's Not Rocket Science)

If you can set up a Slack channel, you can do this:

1. Grab your Polymer account and ApproveThis logins
2. In Zapier, choose a Polymer trigger ("New Hired Candidate", etc.)
3. Map key data points (role title, salary, department) to ApproveThis
4. Set approvers – can be individuals, teams, or dynamic based on Polymer data

Test it with a single job role first. Full rollout takes about 2 hours if your approval rules are documented (and if they're not, we've got templates).

Who Gets Their Time Back

HR Teams

Stop playing messenger between candidates and approvers. Polymer shows candidate status, ApproveThis handles the internal back-and-forth. You’re not the middleman anymore.

Finance

Salary approvals tied directly to Polymer's offer letters. No more "Who approved this $200K engineering lead?" surprises during audits.

Department Heads

Get approval requests in your email with all context from Polymer. Click approve. Get back to work.

This Isn't Just "Another Integration"

Most ATS integrations stop at syncing data. Ours adds decision-making layer. Example: When Polymer gets a new application from a sales role, ApproveThis can:

- Require sales director approval if quota attainment is below 70%
- Auto-approve if candidate was referred by a top performer
- Escalate to CFO if commission structure exceeds budget

That's workflow automation that actually understands how approvals work in reality.

Time to Stop Losing Candidates to Paperwork Delays

Polymer's great at managing applicants. ApproveThis is great at managing decisions. Together, they fix the approval black holes that make hiring drag on for weeks.

Get started with ApproveThis – it's free for small teams. Or book a 10-minute demo if you've got complex hiring rules to untangle.

P.S. If your approvers are still using email threads and "I thought YOU reviewed this" excuses, you're leaving hires (and revenue) on the table. Fix it.
