✏️ Introduction
Before making a formal job offer, it’s often necessary to get internal approval - especially when ensuring that everyone involved in the recruitment process is happy with the proposed candidate. That’s where the Offer Approval process comes in.
This feature allows you to submit a request for approval directly from a candidate’s application, streamlining communication and ensuring compliance within your organisation.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to request offer approval, track the status of your request, and if you’re an approver, how to review and approve offers quickly and easily.
