<< Unfortunately, those same job classification systems also tend to become
job qualification systems. Some HR systems which run the job announcements
also run the job applications as well and if an applicant comes by and
applies and they don't have a masters, their application is dumped without a
chance for human consideration >>

So true, especially in government. And it's getting worse every year.

I'm finding that many federal HR departments don't have a clue about the
jobs they announce and recruit for, and HR staff are barely skilled in
office software themselves, let alone understand the technical expertise
needed for many jobs.

If I could only tell you what I've witnessed here inside the Washington DC
Beltway! You'd cry.
