Then the hiring manager NEEDS TO RESPECT the HR department when they have provided a professional screening service to help protect them from a hiring mistake that could lead to costly frustrations in the future. I think it needs to be said that the HR department is not always at liberty to discuss openly some hiring issues which could lead to litigation. And sometimes the HR department is viewed through the lense of stereotypes based on suspiscion alone. And this is unfortunate.

I have experience in HR, and my theory is that I don't know what a department needs even if I am told, because they are the SME's my job is still a service....so I process their needs to effectively make it happen as quickly as I can....countless HR people think that because they know certain rules, they know everything....uhhh anyone can look it up on the net at shrm.org....... ditto with the above posters…..

If this organization does any government work, this hiring activity wouldn't pass muster with the OFCCP. I work in HR and I agree with you 100% with a caveat.

This happens all the time. One place I worked HR took over not only hiring, but all kinds of training, even reviews....after all, they were "good" at it. Nick…well said. This happens all the time.
