It's a team effort of the pilot with the guidance of the hoist operator sitting in the back. Hoist operator guides the pilot in all directions while watching the main and tail rotors. It becomes even more difficult when hoist is deployed to try and drop the hook in the hands of rescuer on the ground asking the pilot to move 1-2 meters at a time as rescuer does not go after hook especially if you on a ledge. Btw the hoist operator was a lady.
