Configuring Job Approval at Job Level


If you have permission to edit a job, you can further configure the job approval chain at the job level.  These are in case any specific stakeholder needs to approve for a particular job or someone from the approval chain has left the organization.


Follow the below steps to configure the approval chain at a job level:


  1. Navigate to Jobs to create a new job.

  2. While creating the job, 
    - the default approval chain will be added to the job. 
    - if the job created has the office and department matching the approval chain you have configured for a specific office or department, the office/department chain will be considered.

  3. From the Approval Stage of job creation, recruiters can edit the approval chain - add new users, add an approval step or change the approval order. 


Note:
When you configure a job approval chain for a department, all the child departments are mapped with the same job approval chain.

Suppose you have a department created as Engineering. It has sub-departments (child departments) as iOS and Android. A job approval chain you configure for Engineering will be applied to the child departments iOS and Android.



Requesting Job Approval


  1. Once the job is created, you will see the status as Draft. 

  2. Click on Request Approval from the respective job’s About page, to trigger the approval request email to the configured set of approvers.
