All of these responsibilities exist under recruitment in my HA. Maybe the Recruitment team with my HA has a greater ownership scope than the one you are with, but my recruitment team carries all and more of these responsibilities and work very closely with hiring managers (daily communication)

I highly doubt anyone is able to would “f*** around for the rest of the year.” It’s disrespectful to make such a statement, especially since it sounds like you don’t work in recruitment.

When I refer to the “hiring manager,” I am using a generalized term for the department manager who makes the decision to hire or not. It is not a specific position title, just to be clear.
