What is Hiring Manager?

The person who requests a new hire, defines the role requirements, makes the final hiring decision, and will directly manage the new employee once they start.

Why it matters in hiring

Hiring Manager comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
