Most large companies have a side channel where managers can say to HR, this is a viable candidate. HR still does the background check etc but they are verifying the resume not evaluating it.
That is how all of our resumes work; HR just verifies the information and has no role in determining whether someone is appropriate...unless it is for an HR job. Someone in our department must review every resume for the initial pass before HR begins the background checks or schedules interviews. It takes longer to hire someone but we know that nobody is making decisions for our department.
