Job Approvals

Many organizations have a process wherein approval needs to be obtained before starting work on a new job requirement. Talenture RS provides the Approval facility for automating this.

For example in a staffing company scenario the Team Manager or the Head may be the person authorized to approve work on requirements received from clients.

In a Corporate recruiting scenario, a Line Manager or Department Head would the approving authority before the recruiting team can be assigned to work on a positon.

Note that you can control via user permissions in the administrative login whether a specific user is authorized to assign Jobs with or without approval.

You can use the Approval workflow in Talenture RS as follows:

• When creating a Job, use Approval tab for putting in the details of the approval request for e.g. why the job needs to be approved etc.
• Assign to the concerned person(s) using the ‘Approver 1’ field in the Roles tab.
• Track the pending approvals and perform approvals using the Workbench views available for this.

Talenture RS provides dedicated views in the Workbench for easily tracking & managing the approval process. Use the data views under Jobs data folder in the Workbench for viewing Jobs pending approval, on which Approval is to be performed etc.
