The HR recruiting specialist and line managers at Clearwater Electronics work closely together when hiring new employees. The line managers are ultimately responsible for the final selection of a new employee, but the HR recruiting specialist serves an important role by providing information about potential employees and arranging for interviews. Why is this service helpful to the line managers?

• The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from rushing the hire because there is an immediate need to fill positions.
• The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from interviewing applicants who are not qualified for the positions.
• The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from expecting too much, too soon from new employees.
• The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from relying too much on the interview, a common recruiting pitfall.
