We're not a large company at only 1100 people, but our HR department is excellent. Not only do they help filter for us (I received about 100 applications for a Product Manager position recently), but they also allow us to see all the applications if I want to go spelunking and ignore the system designated ranking.

In short; not sure I agree with your generalized statement. I'm sure there are cases where it is true.

"System designated ranking" - you lost me there bud.

I'm sure your HR department, and therefor - you - are ignoring some outstanding candidates.

It's cool though, we'll hire them.

I think you somehow missed the 'ignore' part.
