Hiring managers have no training in the field of staffing. They are hired to be leaders, and leaders step into the role with a pre-existing team. When it come to hiring, they have no special skill. They think  they are very good at identifying the right person during the job interview.  But as Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman pointed out in the Harvard Business Review earlier this year, managers are unaware of their own hidden biases.  It is bias that makes the decision.  So hiring managers hire the person they like the most, who happens to be the person most like themselves. This undermines diversity of mind, which is the most valuable resource a company can have. HR has an opportunity to boost their value to the company by turning the hiring process into a professional HR process and making sure that the candidate selected is the best candidate for the company, not just the hiring manager. This means disposing of the concept of hiring manager as interviewer and as the decision maker for staffing. Finding the right person for a position with the company is HR’s job.
