This is an example of appropriate line and staff authority. The HRM, who has staff authority, is developing an approach to attract individuals with key skill sets, which is an example of staff authority. The regional manager, who has line authority, will then select the best person from the pool of applicants generated by the HRM's approach, which is an example of line authority. Therefore, this is an appropriate use of both line and staff authority.
