Hiring Managers own the outcome. Lead the process, pre-screen resumes, continue to optimize the “campaign” 3. Be proactive with your recruiter. Make this event (from conception through offer) one of your top 3 priorities each day 4. Partner up with your recruiter, stay connected every day (show appreciation for what they do) 5. This is the one time where the lower the conversion rate, the better
