"Hiring manager" means the manager who has the critical role in deciding which candidate to hire for a job vacancy. While the details of a hiring manager's role may vary from agency to agency, the hiring manager reviews resumes, applications, and other relevant information during the selection process. The candidate who is appointed reports directly to the hiring manager or is in the hiring manager's chain of command.
