As someone who had the wonderful experience to work with HR I can tell you that the bullshit they're telling us is 100% an attempt to justify their own existence.
HR adds less than nothing to the entire recruiting process. They inflate requirements, they smash together templates so that the result makes no sense at all, they add buzzwords they think are important. If someone actually applies, they "filter" applications based on elaborate models of a coin toss, and during interviews, they want to make clear that they are, in fact, not useless by asking nonsensical questions.
In short, they are parasites and don't want corporate to know.
I've got my current job via a recruiter and it was a super relaxed process. One video call of an hour or two with my (to be) team lead and his boss. Both of them were actual developers. HR was only involved for the formalities, as they should be.
I'm currently waiting to hear back on one that is being held up by HR unfortunately. I think they are essentially holding it open for a more diverse candidate which is understandable (the team is a bunch of white dudes) but kind of sucks.
Another one that annoyed me was a job I got rejected by that I saw get reposted. I actually emailed their HR along for some feedback and was surprised to get a response. They said the team was looking for someone with more enterprise level NOC experience. Guess what was not even mentioned in the job description?
One good thing that has happened in recent years though is that several states (including Washington lrequire postings to include the pay range so at the very least I can avoid an interview that would waste everyone's time.
