hiring manager
Staffing decision maker
A hiring manager is the person responsible for filling a job position, typically the supervisor who will oversee the new employee.
Unlike recruiters who screen candidates, the hiring manager makes the final decision on who gets the job: The hiring manager liked my portfolio but wanted a second interview.
The term appears constantly in job-search advice about tailoring applications and following up.
