Can HR not hire you?
Recruiters and other HR professionals do not make hiring decisions. They can hinder or block you from getting hired, but they do not make the decision to hire you.
Should you bypass the recruiter?
No. If the hiring company has engaged a recruiter they are happy with the fees, the recruiter and the value they bring to the table. So you won’t be seen as proactively trying to save the company money (recruitment fees) but rather as unethically trying to circumvent the system.
Does HR need to sit in on interviews?
HR should allow the managers, directors and supervisors to screen, interview and select their team members. HR needs to stay involved in the process.
Do HR people do interviews?

Who decides on hiring?

Is it easier to get a job through a recruiter?
To make the process easier, consider working with a recruiter. When working with a recruiter, you’re not totally alone in your job search. A recruiter could match you with a job that requires your skills and experiences. Keep in mind that a recruiter’s job is not to find you a job.
What Cannot be asked in an interview?
