Hiring Managers

Who Are Hiring Managers?

Hiring managers manage the hiring and selection process for a company. Their primary duties are identifying staffing requirements, writing job descriptions, finding applicants, interviewing, and hiring.

The Hiring Manager collaborates with department heads, team leaders, and human resources to understand each role's needs and attract qualified applicants. They set recruiting budgets, advertising channels, and timetables with HR.

Recruiting managers assess applicants' abilities, credentials, cultural fit, and recruiting logistics. They may screen, interview, and appraise individuals to determine job fit.
Hiring Managers evangelize the company's values, purpose, and culture to candidates. They keep applicants informed, interested, and respectful and professional.

Hiring Managers also follow recruiting and hiring trends, best practices, and laws. They may attend training programs, networking events, and professional development to learn talent acquisition.

Example

Hiring Managers may fill crucial software engineering positions in technology companies. First, the Hiring Manager would work with the engineering team to determine the role's technical capabilities, experience, and cultural fit. They would then write an engaging job description showcasing the company's intriguing initiatives, technology, and career progression prospects.

Next, the Hiring Manager would pursue diverse individuals using job boards, social media, and industry events. They may also recruit via their professional network and employee recommendations.

Following applications, the Hiring Manager reviewed resumes, screened prospects, and scheduled interviews with prospective individuals. Throughout the interview, they evaluated individuals' technical capabilities, problem-solving ability, and business culture.

After careful consideration, the hiring manager, engineering team, and stakeholders will choose the best applicant. They would issue a job offer, negotiate conditions, and aid onboarding to verify the new person fits in.
