Actually, HR wasn't involved at all. I was interviewed by the department where the position was to occur, as well as multiple people in that department including I'm assuming maybe users of the system as well as programmers of the system.

I was mentioning the likeliest (to me) scenario. There are other ways for things to go pear-shaped.

I remember one post in alt.folklore.computers some years ago where the poster mentioned his company had trouble with hiring. It seems that there was one group of people who expected an applicant to be wearing a suit and another group that did not trust any applicant wearing a suit.
