- When a job offer is submitted, the system automatically sends notification via email to the first approver in the chain of approval.
- Approvers can:
- Approve the job offer, which routes the offer to the next approver.
- Deny the job offer, which stops the progress of the job offer and notifies the primary hiring Manager.
- Push back the job offer, which notifies the previous Approver that the job offer has been pushed back and needs his or her attention. The first Approver cannot push back the job offer.
- Job offers can be approved from the Pending Approvals page, where Approvers can see a list of all job offers that have been routed to them for approval. Recruiters can also use the Pending Approvals link on the Recruiting Home dashboard.
