Uncontrolled hiring is the fastest way to burn budget
Adding people — hires, contractors, extensions — is scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and Slack. Nobody has a clear picture of total people spend until it's too late.
🚨

Rogue Hiring

Managers open positions and make offers without Finance or HR visibility. By the time leadership finds out, the budget is committed and the offer letter is signed.

📧

Email-Based Approvals

Approval chains buried in email threads. Who approved what? When? Was Finance looped in? Nobody knows — and nobody can prove it during an audit.

📉

Zero Budget Visibility

Finance builds a headcount plan in January. By March, nobody knows how much has been committed vs. spent. Overspend on people is the #1 budget risk.

A gate on every entry into your organization
ReqCanvas enforces rigid, configurable approval flows for every type of people request. Nothing moves forward without the right sign-offs — and every step is tracked, timed, and auditable.
👤

Request to Recruit

Before a job posting goes live, the request must pass through HR, the department head, Finance for budget validation, and executive sign-off. Position details, salary band, justification — all captured and routed automatically.

Offer Employment

Once a candidate is selected, the offer goes through its own approval chain. Salary, equity, signing bonus, start date — reviewed by HR, compensation committees, and Finance before the letter is generated.

🔄

Contract Extensions

Contractor and temp extensions are easy to miss until the invoice arrives. ReqCanvas alerts you 30, 60, and 90 days before expiry. Extensions route through the same approval chain as new hires.

🔔

Account Alerts

Proactive notifications for compliance reviews, certification expirations, probation milestones, visa deadlines, and custom triggers. HR stays ahead instead of firefighting after deadlines pass.

Your largest expense deserves real controls

For most organizations, people represent 60–80% of total operating budget. Yet the process of adding people is often the least controlled function in the company.

No CFO would approve a $120K equipment purchase over email — but that's exactly how most hiring decisions are made. ReqCanvas treats every person entering your organization as what they are: a significant financial commitment that deserves the same rigor as any other major expenditure.
