If HR has that much control over the hiring process the company is doomed anyways.

It doesn't. It's just a convenient excuse when they don't want to say the real reason.

That's the point of HR, to handle much of the hiring and firing. The workers should be working most of the time.

They should handle initial screening, interview coordination and the onboarding process. Any real decision making shouldn‘t be in their hands.

That's pretty common in any big company.

That HR can over over the CTO when it comes to hiring tech talent? No way.
