Approval workflows

Nothing goes live — or goes out — without a sign-off.

Define who approves new job posts and offers, in what order. Approvers decide from a single inbox, requesters see status in real time, and every decision is timestamped in the audit log.

Approval capabilities

Governance that does not slow hiring down.

Set the chain once; every job and offer follows it.

Job post approval

New jobs wait for approval before publishing to the career page and boards.

Ordered steps

Add approvers in sequence — finance, then department head, then HR — and reorder any time.

Approvals inbox

Approvers see everything waiting on them in one list and approve or reject with a note.

Offer approval

Offer letters run through their own approval steps before the candidate can see them.

Notifications

Approvers get in-app and email notifications; Slack alerts when connected.

Audit log

Who approved, who rejected, when and why — recorded for every request.

Job posts

Publish only what is budgeted

Hiring managers draft, the chain decides, recruiting publishes. No job goes live by accident, and finance sees it first.

Offers

Offers with a sign-off trail

The offer cannot reach the candidate before the chain approves it, so compensation stays inside policy without a spreadsheet check.

Where a sign-off step earns its keep

Finance control, multi-department companies and executive hires.

Finance

Headcount stays on budget

Finance approves every new job before it is visible to candidates.

  • Finance as the first step
  • Reject with a note
  • Audit log for the quarter review
Multi-department

Department heads sign their own

A single chain covers every team; approvers only see their pending items.

  • One inbox per approver
  • Requester sees status live
  • Slack notification on request
Executive hires

Offers nobody sends alone

Senior offers pass through HR and leadership before the candidate is invited to accept.

  • Offer approval chain
  • Versions tracked per revision
  • Acceptance page after sign-off

How approval chains work

How approval chains work in Hireall.

In ATS settings: add approvers in order. The chain applies to new job posts; offers have their own steps.

The request is marked rejected with the note, the requester is notified, and the job or offer stays unpublished until resubmitted.

Notifications link straight to the approvals inbox; the decision itself is made in Hireall so it is logged.

Yes, when offer management is enabled — each offer runs through its approval steps before the candidate page is unlocked.

Every approve or reject is written to the audit log with user, time and note.
