Bad intake creates six-week searches for roles that were never approved. Standard fields, finance sign-off, and hiring manager attestation cut rework.

#Intake is a control, not paperwork

Capture business justification, budget source, level band, and interview plan before sourcing starts.

#Block the bypass paths

Slack approvals do not count. ATS status should not move to open without signed intake.

#Measure rework

Track reqs closed without hire and reqs reopened within thirty days. High rework means intake failure.
