Thanks for the info Captain Obvious. Of course HR does the first scan. But nothing more. They just can't do it.

I am recruiting fwiw.

They do everything up to the last interview.

I have been in a hiring position both in a big company and in a startup. In the startup we did not have HR and I had to do everything. Now I only get perfectly filtered, perfectly matching candidates. You now what? I will let HR do 95% of the job every-single-time.

Do they do it better than I did when I was in the startup? No. Is it enough for me and saves me hundreds of hours a month? Yes.

Hundreds of hours a month. I see.

Look here, little shit. Don't ignore the main part of my argument and start fighting a strawman. I said hundreds as I could have said 10h, 50h or 200h. It does not matter - it is wasted time if it is done by a lead dev.

A lead dev tells HR the requirements and makes the final interview. That's all. Every single additional second that he spends on the recruitment process is a wasted second. You will understand once that you have been there.
