HR in companies has changed radically in recent years.
If you throw away your assumptions, and solely look at the behaviors that the function exhibits, you will find striking resemblance to the behaviors under communism, or fascism.
Money has no value any more. Power is the only currency.
To the public, they are strictly compliant, but the tools, such as the CV, the interview process, feedback, approval process, and so on, are irrational to anyone involved, except the true decision makers.
Their objective is not no longer meritocratic, to hire the best qualified or best performing, but to hire people that strengthen the political power of those that already wield it. It's more than nepotism, it's empire building.
It's not the money that has value, but what money can be exchanged for.
If your money can't buy you admission into university,
or property that is sold off-market and privately,
or access to off-market and privately controlled jobs,
and so on,
then your money doesn't help you at all.
Power is the real currency in an unfree market.
As in communism.
