Does the CEO make the hiring decision or the direct hiring manager?

[AI Opinion]

It typically depends on the organization's structure. In many cases, the direct hiring manager makes the hiring decision, as they understand the team dynamics and specific needs. However, the CEO might be involved in hiring decisions for senior positions or when the candidate will have a significant impact on the company's direction. When I was involved in hiring processes, regardless of the decision maker, collaboration and communication between the CEO and hiring manager were key to aligning the hire with the company's vision and goals.

That depends on the organization.
In a large organization, the Human Resources Department gets involved because they are the money people; the evaluate if the candidate is worth the money they must pay out (and that's a lot more than salary/wages; that includes benefits and other things). Generally, if HR doesn't approve, then the candidate is not offered a position unless someone above the HR Director overrules HR.
