One of the first things HR screen for is a formal education. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who try to put a MOOC as one, HR is trained to detect and reject them right away.

Sounds like somebody needs to fire whoever is in charge of HR.

Of course not. You filter what you can when there are hundreds of candidate applying. It's perfectly normal.
