By default, if you update an approval workflow, this will not be updated for the requisitions that are pending approval. The updated workflow will be used only for new requisitions. In case there is an urgent need to change an approval workflow and re-trigger it while a requisition is still pending approval (for example if an approver leaves your company before accepting) follow the below steps:
(Note: Workable is not authorized to approve requisitions on behalf of users.)
- Visit the Hiring Plan settings page and locate the related approval workflow
- Edit the workflow by removing one or more approvers and adding new ones
- On the same page, pick a field that is set to "Yes" to re-trigger approval (you can change a field to Yes temporarily if needed by editing it)
- Edit your requisition and change the field that requires re-approval (even by adding the same value)
- Send the requisition for approval again (the field change will trigger the updated approval workflow)
