Approval Groups and Workflow Types
Recruitment uses approval groups with the Workflow types: RMP- Postings, RMQ - Posting Requisitions, and NHA - Applicant Recommendation. Before a search is initiated on the Approval Groups page, the Rule Groups tab will be visible.

In Recruitment, the tab Posting Groups will display for workflow types RMP - Postings and RMQ - Posting Requisitions and the Employee Groups will display for the workflow type NHA - Applicant Recommendation.
