You do realize that HR doesn't actually hire people (except for HR roles of course), department managers make the hiring decisions. HR is there to support the process.

HR does pre-selection -- this is exactly when unwanted CVs go to the waste basket.

Yep, anyone who does not know this generally doesnt get how much the HR idiots can prescreen wonderful candidates because they didnt match the keywords.
