Well, it looks like you have thoroughly confirmed my dark opinion of HR
departments. Instead of helping, they're hindering the process of finding
qualified applicants because a) there is an additional bureaucratic layer
between the hiring people and the applicants with its attendant
inefficiencies and sloth; b) they don't *really* know what the manager is
looking for; because of 'b', c) they have no clue what to look for in the
ideal candidate who doesn't match *exactly* the qualifications listed;

In the part of government I work for [in Canada], all the resumes
are turned over to local HR and are available to the manager
running the position.
...

I don't know anything about government hiring, except to note that, given
what I've seen of the various governments in the US of A, the hiring
process is even more baroque and arcane than it is in the private sector.
And that assumes that there is no favoritism or other underhanded activity
being conducted for any given reason - probably a very rare thing, but
IMHO, even one instance of such behavior is dead wrong.
