French term or phrase: réquerant

In this context, the term is used to refer to the person/department within a company that is in need of hiring personnel. I am wondering if there's an English equivalent rather than translating it as "person requiring..."

Une des fonctions est de présenter au réquerant les postulants ayant été jugés les plus aptes à remplir le poste.

Le réquerant doit identifier les besoins, qualifications et connaissances requises pour le poste à combler.

requester

Explanation:
"Requester" or "requesting" seems to be the best answer.

I give one reference from LGDT 2000:

Domaine(s)
administration publique
gestion
administration municipale

requesting person

Syn.
requester
One that requests something.

demandeur n m
Fém. : demandeuse n f
demanderesse n f
Personne qui demande quelque chose.
Notes :
Tout administré est par définition un demandeur en puissance (d'explications, de droits, d'avantages, de protections, etc.
« Demandeuse » n'appartient pas à la langue juridique.
« Demanderesse » appartient plutôt à la langue du droit.

À éviter
requérant
Note : Le terme «requérant» doit être réservé au domaine juridique. En effet, en matière de litiges devant les tribunaux administratifs, le mot «requérant», plus juridique, se substituera souvent au mot «demandeur», car la requête répond à un certain formalisme.

[Office de la langue française, 1994]

Here we would have "One of the functions is to submit to the requester the applicants which have been deemed to be the fittest to ..."

How about recruiter?

It does not only have a military connotation, but is also used in human resources.

the department, the department concerned

Explanation:
After having given this one a fair bit of thought, as it refers to a person or department within a company, there is no easy one or two word term for this one which sounds natural to me (UK English). There is perhaps no need to use an identical term for both sentences.

"One of the functions involved is presenting the department concerned with the most suitable applicants for the position."

"The department has to identify the needs, qualifications and experience required for the position being filled."

It is conceivable that “recruiting department” (the department which is in need of recruiting someone) might work, although I would be wary of that as it could be confused with the personnel department.

Perhaps even \"the department recruiting\", the \"department which is recruiting\".
