Use case

Noah is responsible for ensuring that the job description receives approval before it's advertised on their company website. To achieve this, he must adhere to the existing approval process established by the recruitment team.

To achieve this, he relies on an existing approval process established by the recruitment team. This process is facilitated through Approval for Monday.com's approval templates, which can be easily applied to any item within Monday.com. To start the approval process, Noah navigates to the approval templates section (A).

Once Noah locates the required approval template, it will automatically apply to the item. He ensures that the process follows a structured workflow, where the approval rounds will go through a defined set of approval steps before sign-off. Noah adds a sequential approval process (B) to ensure that these steps are followed in a specific order.

Noah starts the approval process, and the first approval round is activated (C). Reviewers are notified of the approval request automatically via the monday.com notification center and by email.

Now that the job description has been approved and signed off, the job advertisement is live on the company's website and social media platforms.

The recruitment team utilizes monday.com forms to gather candidate applications, with Noah overseeing their management. Before progressing candidates to the next recruitment stage, Noah sends their applications for approval to the relevant teams.

To initiate the process, Noah accesses Approvals within the candidate form item. Here, he applies the necessary approval template (D) to send the application to the appropriate teams.

Noah has improved his workflow by utilizing one of the Approvals automation features (E). This automation smoothly moves candidate application items to a designated section on the board depending on the outcome of their approval.

With his board well-organized, Noah can quickly send emails to applicants who have progressed to the respective sections, significantly improving the overall efficiency of the recruitment process.
