What are some of the key differences for an HR Generalist and an HR Manager if there is one HR person for an organization of just under 50 FTE?

I recently submitted a candidate that was qualified for a role. The HM looked at the video and passed on her before I even submitted the info. I asked why she said nothing just move on. The candidate asks why she wasn’t moving forward and feedback listing her qualifications vs the job description. I agree go back because I want to know what I’m missing in efforts to submit proper prospects. I was told we don’t have to give a reason and she didn’t fit the culture but don’t tell her that. 😔
Is anyone else concerned about job applications asking for your Social Security number upfront before an interview or offer? With identity theft and fraud being so common, it feels like this information should only be requested during hiring paperwork after an offer is made. Curious how others handle this.
In a smaller setup, an HR Generalist kind of wears multiple hats: handling recruitment, benefits, and employee relations. They're the go-to for day-to-day HR tasks. On the flip side, an HR Manager, even in a small team, tends to focus more on strategy and policy development. They might lead the HR initiatives and handle higher-level decision-making.
Manager is typically seen as a more strategic and specialized role than a generalist.
