Approving a Job

  1. Users will receive an email notifying them to review and approve/decline a job. This email will have instructions on how to approve the job. You can do this two ways:
    • By replying to the email with the word Approve.
    • By logging in to do this from the Dashboard.
  2. From your Home page, you can access these jobs by clicking the Approvals link in the dropdown menu or you will see a notification in your Bubble View. Click View next to the job you are approving and review details.
  3. You can click through the tabs of the position description or requisition to view attached documents and notes, if any. You can also look at History and Revision at the top of the page to see if any changes were made throughout the approval process.
  4. If you scroll down to the bottom of the position information tab of the requisition, you will see approve and decline buttons. You will see your name as well as the names of the remaining approvers. Click Approve.
  5. Any OPEN job that you Approve, you will later be able to find that job within your Bubble View.
