Employee Hiring Rate Card Processing Software
Kissflow routes a requisition through budget approval, posts and screens the role, coordinates interviews and feedback, checks the proposed offer against the approved adjunct, student-worker, or grant-funded rate card before it goes out, and hands a completed record to onboarding once the offer is signed, so the business office never finds a pay-rate mismatch during payroll setup or a grant audit.

An approved rate card should set the pay. Too often the offer letter sets it first.
A requisition for an adjunct instructor, a temporary staff role, or a grant-funded research position moves through posting, screening, and interviews the way any hire does. Where higher ed hiring gets its own complication is the pay rate: adjuncts are paid off an approved per-course or per-credit-hour rate table, student workers off a wage scale, grant-funded staff off whatever the sponsor's award actually allows, and none of those tables live inside the applicant tracking system doing the posting.
The result is an offer that gets approved on qualifications before anyone has checked it against the rate card it's supposed to follow, and a business office that finds the mismatch during payroll setup, or worse, during a grant audit. Rate exceptions happen, but they should happen on purpose, with sign-off, not by accident because two systems never talked to each other.
Kissflow rebuilds hiring as one governed workflow: requisition approval, job posting, application screening, interview scheduling and feedback, an offer approval step that checks the proposed pay against the applicable rate card before it goes out, and an onboarding handoff once the offer is signed. Your ATS and payroll system stay the system of record; Kissflow is where the requisition, the interview record, and the rate card check live on one file before either system sees the hire.
What breaks when hiring and rate card checks run in separate systems
A rate card lives in a spreadsheet, not the workflow
The approved adjunct or student-worker rate table isn't checked automatically against what a hiring manager proposes.
Grant-funded hires need sponsor-specific limits
A position funded by a federal award has its own allowable rate, invisible to a generic hiring approval chain.
Interview feedback gets lost between rounds
Scorecards from different interviewers live in email, not attached to the requisition they're evaluating.
Onboarding starts from scratch
HR re-enters requisition and offer details manually once a hire is approved, instead of handing off a completed record.
Six modules. Built to keep every offer inside its approved rate card.
Every module ships with default forms, routing, and dashboards. Configure each one to your hiring and compensation policy in the visual builder.
Requisition approval
Routes a new position request, adjunct, student-worker, or grant-funded, through budget and department sign-off before it's posted.
Job posting and screening
Tracks the open posting and screens every application against the role's stated criteria in one shared record, not a separate spreadsheet.
Interview scheduling and feedback
Coordinates every interview round, panel notes, and scorecard on the same requisition instead of scattered email threads.
Rate card check
Validates a proposed offer's pay rate against the approved adjunct, student-worker, or grant-funded rate table before approval.
Offer approval
Routes the finalized offer, qualifications confirmed and pay rate already checked, through final sign-off before it goes out.
Onboarding handoff
Hands a completed hire record, requisition, interviews, rate check, and signed offer, to onboarding with nothing to re-key.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
A position request enters with its budget source and applicable rate table identified.
Review
Candidates are screened and interviewed, with feedback captured on the requisition.
Approve
The proposed pay is checked against the applicable adjunct, student-worker, or grant-funded rate card before the offer is approved.
Record
The completed hire record moves to onboarding with qualifications and pay both on file.

| Grant-funded hires | Sponsor rate limits checked separately, if at all | Sponsor rate limits enforced as part of the rate card check |
| Offer approval | A single sign-off with no rate confirmation | Sign-off with qualifications and rate both confirmed |
| Onboarding handoff | Requisition and offer details re-entered manually | A completed record handed off with nothing to re-key |
Connects to your ATS, HRIS, and payroll; Workday and your ATS stay the system of record
Kissflow does not replace your applicant tracking system or Workday. It is the requisition-to-offer layer that checks pay against the approved rate card before either system sees the hire.

Rate cards enforced, not assumed
A proposed offer is checked against the approved table automatically, not caught after the fact.
One requisition record start to finish
Posting, screening, interviews, and the offer all live on the same file.
Grant-funded hires stay compliant
Sponsor rate limits are enforced as part of the same approval, not a separate manual check.
Live in weeks
HR configures requisition forms and approval routing in the visual builder.
Onboarding starts with a complete record
Nothing gets re-entered once an offer is signed.
Visibility into rate exceptions
Any approved exception to the standard rate card is visible in reporting, not buried in an email thread.

Get SupportNo. Your ATS stays the system of record for the candidate pipeline. Kissflow adds the requisition approval, rate card validation, and offer approval layer around it.
An approved pay table, per-course or per-credit-hour rates for adjuncts, a wage scale for student workers, or a sponsor-allowable rate for grant-funded positions, checked automatically against a proposed offer.
A grant-funded requisition can be linked to its award's allowable rate limits, so an offer that exceeds what the sponsor permits is flagged before approval, not after the grant audit.
Yes, with an explicit sign-off step and a visible record of why the exception was made, rather than an undocumented deviation.
That app is built around academic credential verification for faculty roles. This app is built around requisition approval and rate card compliance across adjunct, student-worker, and grant-funded hiring specifically.
Yes, department by department, in the visual builder, with HR controlling the approval routing and rate card rules centrally.
Yes. Scorecards from each interview round attach to the requisition record instead of living in individual interviewer inboxes.
Yes. Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, and access to rate and offer data is role-based.
