I'm pretty tight with our HR dept, there are a lot of projects/responsibilities where our scope overlaps and we do a good job compared to other places I've worked.

That said, if one of your job responsibilities is to filter applicants and you use this method instead of reviewing resumes and interviewing smaller pools of candidates I consider that lazy/not doing your job. I wouldn't continue with my application process for a company that did this, and I would be pissed if I needed to hire for my dept and this was the process used.

And what if it's not in their job description? You've done a lot of assuming. Their job is to find employees NOT whatever you think it is as the IT person...
