Offer Approval

Offer Approval in Zoho Recruit is an automated routing workflow requiring management sign-off before an offer is sent to the candidate, with conditional rules, multi-level routing, and escalation options.

Offer Approval in Zoho Recruit is a configured workflow that requires one or more designated approvers to review and authorise an offer before it is sent to the candidate. This ensures salary and terms are vetted by management before the organisation commits to them.

Configuring Offer Approval in Zoho Recruit

Administrators set up offer approval rules in Zoho Recruit that specify who must approve offers and under what conditions. For example, offers above a certain CTC threshold might require CFO approval, while standard offers only need HR manager sign-off. Approvers receive a notification with the offer details and can approve or reject with a comment directly from the notification or within Zoho Recruit.

Approval Routing and Escalation

Zoho Recruit supports sequential and parallel approval routing. Sequential approval requires each approver to act in order; parallel approval sends to all approvers simultaneously. If an approver does not respond within a set period, escalation rules can be configured to notify a backup approver or the recruiter. This prevents offers from being held up by a single unresponsive approver.

Example: A manufacturing company in Pune sets an offer approval rule requiring the department head’s sign-off for any offer above Rs 15 LPA. When a recruiter generates an offer for a Plant Manager at Rs 22 LPA, the system automatically routes it to the VP of Operations before the recruiter can send it to the candidate.
