An approval flow decides who signs off a requisition — and in what order — before a job can be published. You build flows on the Approval flows tab of Requisition Approvals. This is available to Admins, with the Requisitions module enabled.
Before you start
Required role: Admin (Requisitions module enabled)
Where to find it: Settings → Workflow → Requisition Approvals → Approval flows
How approval flows work
The left panel lists all your flows; each shows its number of approval steps and approvers, with a toggle to activate it. The right panel is a visual canvas that runs top to bottom: it starts at When a Requisition is Submitted, moves through your approval steps, and ends at Requisition Approved → Job can be published.
How to build a flow
On the Approval flows tab, click + New Approval Flow (or select an existing flow to edit it).
Click the + on the canvas to add an approval step.
For each step, choose the approver(s), whether Any approve (one approver is enough) or Everyone must approve, and the Approve within number of days (the step's SLA).
Add more steps as needed; they run in order down to Requisition Approved.
💡 A flow can target all departments or a specific one, so different teams can have different approvers.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between "Any approve" and "Everyone"?
"Any approve" lets a single approver in that step move the requisition forward; "Everyone" requires every approver in the step to approve before it advances.
What does "Approve within … days" do?
It sets the SLA for that step. Recruitera uses it to send approver reminders and to escalate the approval if it runs overdue.
