When a user requests approval on a job or offer, the listed approvers receive an email notification with the details of the job or offer.

Note: The approval request email is a default Greenhouse Recruiting email and cannot be edited.

If they're currently logged into Greenhouse Recruiting, the approver can approve or reject the job or offer directly from within the email.

If a job is rejected, an email notification is sent to the following users:

  • The user who made the request
  • Each hiring manager assigned to the job

If an offer is rejected, an email notification may be sent to the following users: 

  • The user who made the request
  • The job's primary recruiter (This user is labeled with 'Recruiting tasks')

  • The job's hiring manager(s)
  • Any users who have already approved the offer

Note: In the example below, one of the approval steps is marked as 1 of 2 approvals required. In this case, if one of the users approves and one rejects, the step ultimately is considered approved.

The offer advances, and a rejection notification is not sent.

However, if both users reject the offer, the offer is considered rejected, and a rejection notification is sent.
