Re:My billion pound company has no HR department

At a company I once worked for, HR talked to us prior to interviewing candidates for an open position, with suggested lines of questioning for soft-skills, a framework for the decision process, and reminders of things to avoid for legal reasons. It may have been largely intended to cover the company's backside, but I would say it was useful at heading off some potential problems.

I would see this as "routine administration". It is useful thing.

Our HR quite sux in these. They also consistently attempt to match people on positions that don't suit them - both by personality (the persons personality not matching job) and by technical knowledge/background. So their input is not trusted and managers doing hiring consistently complain about it or simply ignore them.
