Is it correct to say "you have an innovative approach to something” or "an approach for"? (The recruitment and management of personnel.) Trying to finish English assignment. Thanking you in advance.

Approach here takes the preposition to. HTH.– KrisMay 20, 2019 at 10:30

To specifies the target of the approach. For specifies the agent of the approach. An innovative approach to traveling for someone who doesn't even have a passport. An interesting approach to playing the violin for someone who only plays the piano. A brilliant approach to managing people for someone who's never managed people before.– ЯegDwightMay 20, 2019 at 18:22

Definitely TO. "Approach" indicates direction toward a concept.
