(15,533 posts)but most places that have an HR department consider their opinions relevant. I don't know what kind of places you've worked, but I've worked in different industries/public entities, some multinationals, some smaller places, different states, etc.
Your impression of the human resources function as a source of delay and complication in the hiring process may just be because you aren't that familiar with all the requirements that are placed on the department by an organization's policies and the law.
So, no offense taken but maybe don't be so hard on the HR folks. My "specialty" in my last job was with the visa process and making sure that the employees who were here on visas wouldn't get deported under this godawful regime. I personally signed off on some renewals before the USCIS could find a reason to not renew a visa.
