Integrating recruitment data with HR approval flows means an offer or hiring decision routes through defined sign-off — manager, HR, sometimes finance — using the same candidate data already captured during recruiting, without re-entering it into a separate approval system. In **Jestor**, recruitment and approvals can share the same relational structure.

Recruitment and hiring approval often live in separate tools, which means the exact data a hiring manager reviewed during screening has to be manually summarized again for the approval step.

## What separate recruitment and approval systems cost

- Candidate data re-entered or summarized manually for the approval step
- No direct link between the recruiting record and the resulting approval decision
- Approvers missing context that was already captured during screening
- Two disconnected histories — one for recruiting, one for approval

## How integrated recruitment-to-approval flows work

- Candidate and role data captured during recruiting stays connected to the approval request
- **Alçada** rules route the hiring decision through manager, HR, and finance as needed
- Approvers see the same recruiting context — screening notes, role details — without re-entry
- The approval decision stays permanently connected to the original recruiting record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Recruiting and approval share the same relational data, not separate systems
- No manual summarization step between screening and the hiring decision
- Approvers get full context without chasing it down separately
- One continuous record spans from application to final hiring approval

| Candidate data re-entered for approval | Same data flows directly into the approval  |
