You discover that a new Manager extended a verbal job offer to a candidate without involving HR or following the company’s established hiring process. No background check was initiated, the compensation offered was outside the approved salary band, and there’s no signed requisition on file.

This one will be on me and I’ll make sure it all gets straightened out.” What should you do?
