How to Create a Hiring Team – eddy

Collaborative hiring allows multiple viewpoints on candidates, helps candidates better evaluate the company, and eases the load on the hiring manager. Because of these reasons, Eddy agrees with Steve Jobs: “You need to have a collaborative hiring process.”

The Hiring Team in Eddy’s applicant tracking system consists of a hiring manager and other hiring team members who may act as interviewers or resume screeners. To put together your hiring team, you'll first want to decide who is the hiring manager for the open job. Usually this is the person who will manage the new employee when she or he starts. Often the hiring manager is also the person who requested the new job opening.

The hiring manager is a key member of your recruiting team. Within Eddy, they have permission to do many things but are limited to the job(s) they are assigned as hiring manager.

What Can a Hiring Manager Do?

The hiring manager has permissions to change the job posting and advance or reject candidates within the job. The table below outlines all the details of what the hiring manager can do.
