In the US, the US president nominates, for example, executive branch department heads and US Supreme Court justices. When his or her nominations are approved by the Senate, they take their "appointed" positions. For the most part the nominations are approved by the Senate. With that said, the president does make direct appointments. The position that heads the US Patent Office is a presidential appointment. The Senate is not involved.
