I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

If they’re the one managing the person directly you should defer to them, they will be working with them directly

Thanks for telling me what I don’t want to hear. 😂

If they aren’t feeling it you’re kind of SOL in my experience. I’d personally ask if y’all aren’t aligned on criteria

I’d have a hard ass time not finding a way if I felt strongly - ESPECIALLY if my report was the reason for the issue. I’d be asking questions yesterday, would have known issues before yesterday, idk. If I’m moving like that it shouldn’t ever be a question and that it is is concerning

One other thought. The hiring manager is new to this type of position. (Chief of staff) It’s hard to have the vision when others aren’t quite there yet.

Takes this opportunity to discuss what your report views as important for the role, team, and company, and then discuss their top candidate and your rec. Persuade them with logic and reason.
