Job Posting Approval Page
Use this page to process the approvals for job postings submitted from the Job Posting Overview page. Job postings that meet the rules of the posting group setup will display for users designated as approvers in the approval groups associated with those posting groups.
If your organization has defined your approval groups with more than one level of approval, an approver will not see a job posting listed on this page until all lower levels have completed their approval. Workflow will notify approvers when there are job postings that require their approval.
