Hiring managers are not recruiters. They carry a full job alongside every req they are added to. The standard ATS gives them the same interface as the recruiter: every candidate in the company, every job, every settings tab.

Most hiring managers log in once, feel lost, and go back to email.

The recruiter ends up relaying information manually. Feedback lands in a Slack message or a one-line reply to a calendar invite. A week later the team disagrees on who to advance and nobody can find the notes.

A candidate who waited nine days for a shortlist decision has almost certainly accepted another offer. That is not a sourcing problem. It is a loop problem: the recruiter cannot close the loop alone if the hiring manager is not in the tool.

100Hires gives the hiring manager a scoped view of the tool: only the jobs they are on, only the candidates who made the cut, with an AI score already attached. No setup, no per-seat license to negotiate. The recruiter adds them to the job and the hiring manager gets an invite.

What is hiring manager software

Hiring manager software is an applicant tracking system that includes a purpose-built view for the people who make the final hiring call, separate from the full recruiter interface.

Instead of navigating a system designed for daily recruiter use, the hiring manager sees only their active reqs, receives structured evaluation prompts after each interview, and can review candidates and submit feedback without touching sourcing, job board settings, or billing.

In 100Hires the hiring manager role is called Interviewer. It is part of the broader collaborative hiring workflow alongside the full Recruiter and Administrator roles.

Everything a hiring manager needs, nothing they don't

See your jobs, skip everything else

When a recruiter adds you to a job's Hiring team, you see that job and its candidates. Nothing else loads: no other teams' pipelines, no settings tabs, no billing. The 100Hires Interviewer role shows you only what you actually need. Because the view is live, you can check where a req stands at any point without emailing the recruiter. On the Advanced and Pro plans there is no per-seat charge for hiring managers, so the tool bill never keeps anyone out of the loop.

  • Interviewer role scoped per job
  • Unlimited users on Advanced and Pro plans
  • Added by the recruiter in one click
  • Check pipeline status any time, no email to the recruiter

Read the shortlist, not the full stack

Before you open a single candidate's profile, 100Hires AI Score has reviewed every applicant against the criteria the recruiter set: skills, experience depth, location, or whatever the role requires. Each applicant gets a 0-to-100 score. The pipeline sorts by that score. You spend your review time on the top three, not on filtering out obvious mismatches.

  • AI Score 0-100 per candidate
  • Criteria set once by recruiter or admin
  • Sort pipeline by score, not application date

Everyone scores the same way, or the debrief is guesswork

When every interviewer submits feedback in a different format, the debrief turns into a vibes contest. 100Hires Evaluation Forms give every interviewer the same questions and the same scale. After the interview ends, a daily reminder email goes out until the form is submitted, one click from inbox to done. For roles with multiple interviewers, blind mode hides everyone's responses until you submit your own, so the debrief is about evidence, not the loudest voice in the room.

  • Custom Evaluation Forms per interview stage
  • Daily reminder until submitted
  • Blind mode - see others only after you submit

Get up to speed before the call opens

The candidate profile holds the resume, every email in the thread, the AI score breakdown, prior evaluation answers, and the Discussion timeline where the recruiter has been tagging notes. The AI Copilot reads all of it and writes a one-paragraph summary on demand: who this person is, what stands out, what the team has not yet tested. A hiring manager who has not touched the req in two weeks is back up to speed in thirty seconds.

  • Discussion thread with @mentions

On the Advanced and Pro plans, everyone who interviews a candidate gets access. No per-seat negotiation, no extra invoice. The first evaluation your team submits this week is faster than any email thread you've ever run.

100Hires vs a typical ATS for hiring managers

Most applicant tracking systems were designed for full-time recruiters. Adding a hiring manager means adding another paid seat and giving them the same cluttered view.

100Hires includes the hiring manager as a first-class participant: a scoped role, structured evaluation prompts, and automatic follow-ups built in on every plan.

100Hires is built for companies of ten to five hundred employees hiring directly. It is not designed for staffing agencies or enterprise talent acquisition teams running fifty-plus open reqs per recruiter. If that is your situation, an enterprise suite will serve you better.

Hiring manager software FAQ
+ What software do hiring managers use?
Most hiring teams work through their company's applicant tracking system. The quality difference is whether the ATS gives the hiring manager a simple, scoped view or forces them into the same full recruiter interface. 100Hires solves this with the Interviewer role: the hiring manager sees only the jobs they are on, receives structured Evaluation Form prompts after each interview, and can submit feedback without navigating sourcing tools or settings they do not need.
+ Does 100Hires charge extra for each hiring manager I add?
On the 100Hires Advanced and Pro plans, no. You can add every interviewer and hiring manager to the tool at no per-seat cost. Billing is based on the number of active job slots, not the number of users. See https://100hires.com/pricing for the current plan limits.
+ What is the difference between a Recruiter and Interviewer role in 100Hires?
Recruiters in 100Hires see all jobs, manage candidates across every req, and can access company settings and integrations. Interviewers see only the specific jobs they have been added to, can review candidates and submit Evaluation Forms on those jobs, and do not see the Messages tab or admin settings. Most hiring managers are set up as Interviewers. Admins can change a user's role at any time in Settings.
+ How does 100Hires remind hiring managers to complete their evaluation?
After a scheduled interview, 100Hires sends a daily reminder email to the interviewer until they submit their Evaluation Form. The email links directly to the form on that candidate's profile in 100Hires. The hiring manager does not need to remember to log in or navigate to the right page. Reminders stop automatically once the form is submitted.
+ What is blind evaluation mode and when should I use it?
Blind mode in 100Hires hides all other interviewers' Evaluation Form responses until you submit your own. It prevents the first evaluator's score from anchoring everyone else. Blind mode is a per-job toggle that admins and recruiters can enable in the job's automation settings. It works well for any role where multiple interviewers assess the same competencies and you want independent scores before the debrief.
+ Can hiring managers schedule their own interviews in 100Hires?
Candidates can self-schedule using a link the recruiter generates from the hiring manager's calendar availability. The hiring manager connects their Google or Outlook calendar in 100Hires once, and the self-scheduling link shows only the open slots in their calendar. The confirmed interview syncs back automatically. No back-and-forth availability emails needed.
+ How do I get hiring managers to actually fill out evaluations?
Most hiring managers skip evaluations not because they do not care about the hire, but because the form is disconnected from the interview: it lives in a tool they barely open, and they have to find it themselves. In 100Hires every scheduled interview automatically assigns the relevant Evaluation Form to the interviewer. After the interview ends, the system sends a daily reminder email with a direct link to the form on that candidate's profile. The reminder runs every day until the form is submitted, then stops. You do not have to chase anyone manually. Teams that use structured 100Hires Evaluation Forms consistently report that debriefs shift from recalling gut feelings to comparing structured scores.
+ How is 100Hires different from enterprise hiring manager tools?
Enterprise hiring manager tools are sold as separate modules inside large talent suites, typically require IT setup, and are priced for companies with thousands of employees. 100Hires is designed for teams of ten to five hundred people hiring directly. Every hiring manager feature described here, scoped Interviewer role, Evaluation Forms, blind mode, AI Score, AI Copilot, self-scheduling, is included on the standard paid plans with no additional module to purchase.
