Approving hiring and other HR processes means a requisition, offer, or policy exception routes to the right stakeholders automatically — manager, HR, finance — instead of moving through an informal chain of messages. In **Jestor**, this uses the same **Approvals** structure applied to HR-specific decisions.

Hiring decisions typically involve more than one stakeholder — the hiring manager, HR, sometimes finance for budget approval — which makes an unstructured process especially prone to delay or miscommunication.

## What makes HR approval processes error-prone

- Hiring requisitions approved informally, without budget sign-off first
- No clear record of who approved a specific offer or exception
- Multiple stakeholders coordinating through scattered messages
- No visibility into where a requisition currently stands in the process

## How structured HR approval works

- A hiring requisition routes through defined stakeholders — manager, HR, finance — in sequence
- **Alçada** rules can require budget approval before a requisition proceeds
- The full decision history stays attached to the requisition record
- Status is visible to everyone involved, without needing to ask around

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- One structure covers requisitions, offers, and other HR approval types
- Budget checks can be enforced automatically before hiring proceeds
- History stays with the record, useful for future audits or reference
- Reduces the coordination overhead between HR, managers, and finance

| HR approval type   | Typical stakeholders |
| ------------------ | -------------------- |
| Hiring requisition | Manager, HR, finance |
| Offer approval     | HR, hiring manager   |
