Few people are lucky enough to know their boss before the hire, unless you were recruited by them personally, so you are often going into a new and unfamiliar situation with little to nothing to go by to make it easier.

Get the Facts From The Recruiter
Information is power. Ask the recruiter who the hiring manager is who you’d be reporting to for the role and if there are any qualities in the candidate that he or she particularly values.

This serves to your advantage to ask the recruiter directly.
