[NY] HIRING COMMITTEE Q
So I'm a supervisor and was asked to be a member of the hiring committee because I understand the day to day aspects of the job in question. In the interview panel for the candidates it will be myself, my boss the Hiring Manager and our Human Resources Rep.
My question is who makes the final decision really in hiring? All three of us fill out our sheets and than I find out later who they decided to hire. The reason I ask is there appears to be some sort of weird like competition or discord between our HR Manager and my boss, they don't particularly like each other for reasons unknown to me. They appear to always try to undercut the other to the extent of my visibility. So I'm wondering who has supremacy in hiring decisions? I'm concerned we might ger someone who doesn't fit in just to sow discord. Any HR people ever experience this kind of thing?
