Wow. The hiring manager doesn't get to make the final decision?

I make sure that managers reporting to me always make the final decision on hiring (and firing) for their teams. That makes it more fair to hold them accountable for their team, because it's the team they chose.

Moving the final decision to someone else, like a "bar raiser," seems fraught with misaligned incentives.

Are bar raisers somehow held accountable for their hiring decisions?
