Why is the hiring manager absent from the panel?

Interviews Asked Active 4 Aug 2026
Question details

I was invited to a final panel, but the hiring manager will not attend and the recruiter says the team will “share feedback.” Common advice says to meet the manager before accepting. Does this usually signal a process issue, and should I ask to speak with them before deciding?
