Any organization that depends on HR to screen applicants is foolish. When I was still working, before retirement, I had to instruct some HR departments to send all applicants and resumes to my department for evaluation. In general, few HR departments have a staff qualified to evaluate candidates for highly technical positions. Before that HR was screening out viable applicants, and sending duds that lacked basic qualifications or experience.
Exactly. I spent most of my working days in high-tech positions. HR folks have not a clue about what the job requirements/qualifications mean basically because they never did those jobs, and if they did they were very poor in doing so.
What's that axiom about teachers? Those that can't do, teach. The corollary is: Those that can't teach, human resource.
