Complete Guide to Job Requisition Approval

Job Requisition approval process can be created to designate contacts that need to review a posting before it goes live.

There is no limit to the number of job requisition approval processes that can be created in the ATS.

An Approval Process can have up to 15 levels of approvers. Multiple approvers can be to a single level. Each approver can have a designated backup.

Approvers on the same level will get a request email at the same time and only one needs to approve the requisition for it to move to the next approver level.

The user creating a requisition request or creating a template can designate the correct approval process for that job.
