[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI [b]no one likes when they are overruled by a C suite for someone they are managing.  IMHO the hiring manager (if they are good) should have the decision after everyone weighs in. [/b][b]

This happened a few times recently where my spouse works and it only worked out ok once.  The other hires were all not good fits/ thought they were better because they were overruled by the top.

The person who overruled everyone else in this situation makes bad hires.  Literally.  It’s caused chaos and has created more work for those who have to manage these people and do the work.  So OP, do what your manager says and don’t start making waves.

It should be about the actual work not because you both play golf/ baseball/ whatever.

It is a catch-22 for the hiring manager.  
- Reject the candidate that the CIO likes and hire the person you like. This comes with a big risk because you just paint a target on your back.  Either you will not get your bonus or terminated at a later date,
- Select the candidate that the CIO likes.  It might make your job miserable, but at least you still have a job while looking for a new job.  Yourself might even get promoted,

The way I read it, OP was one of the five finalists selected, so OP is definitely capable of doing the work.  [/quote]
