How to set up approval rules

  1. 1Open Settings from the left sidebar and select the Approval rules tab.
  2. 2Select Add rule and choose whether the rule applies to a Job requisition or an Offer.
  3. 3Configure triggering conditions: minimum annual salary threshold, specific departments, new headcount (versus replacement), or offers with a joining bonus.
  4. 4Define the approval sequence: add steps in order, selecting a named user, the Department Head, or any Company Admin.
  5. 5Select Save rule to activate it.

Managing existing rules

  • Deactivating rules: Switch off a rule to pause it without losing its historical decision records.
  • Deletion safeguard: Rules with active, pending approval requests cannot be deleted until those requests are resolved.
