If pilots get in charge of hiring pilots then maybe we may see a change or shift into normal hiring practices that are implemented at other airlines. Sadly, we place demographic considerations above actual pilot-centric considerations.

Very odd that pilots aren't actually in charge of hiring pilots. ALPA insures that pilots supervise pilots, and pilots on the seniority list perform the training and checking of our pilots, but they can't be trusted with hiring and selecting the pilots they manage and train? Silly.

The only thing HR should be doing is making sure only legal questions are asked in the interview. To have an HR-centric process means that it's not aviation-centric. Again, silly.
