Point taken, Mike.

In most of my experience, I've worked closely -with- HR during the screening
process, so haven't had to rely solely on their perception of who/what my
department needed; however, I do conceed the point that, especially in
larger companies, this isn't always the way it works. Perhaps that's why so
many of them not only formally post the position (with the "contact HR"
reply information), but also endeavor to solicit direct responses through
networking.

Think about it from the perspective of the existing employees,
not the jobseeker. Sometimes the techies at a company are the
ones most annoyed by over-zealous or clueless HR screening (I'll
spare you the personal anecdotes).

Look at it this way: If your company is hiring a new person to
work with you in a critical role, do you want to choose only
from the pool of people who managed to make a good first
impression on your non-techie HR screener?
