Does HR have any say in anything in the recruiting process? More specifically, for on campus interviews or resume screens, will they have any say in who is going to get an interview / who doesn't? Basically, should I even waste my time networking with HR (other than to obtain contacts working within IB)?

In my experience with on campus recruiting, the HR people are THE people you want to network the hardest with. Developing a relationship w/ an on campus recruiter from your desiered employer is the best way to get your foot in the door (when it come to on-campus recruiting)
Don't waste too much time with HR...go straight to the IB professionals if that's what you want. HR simply pushes the paper around.
be nice to HR don't piss them off and focus your time on the department you want to get into(unless it's HR)
I'm not telling him to piss off HR. I'm just saying that if he wants to network his way into banking, then he should be networking with bankers. Knowing the HR people is nice, but knowing the bankers is better.
Not arguing that networking with bankers is better. But I'm just wondering if I should hit up HR also, though tbh it's hard to network with them cause they are too uhh HR-like (ie. they'll just tell me to apply online)
Think about it this way - who do you interview with? You interview with bankers, not HR. Problem solved.
That being said, do NOT piss HR off. They can't hire you, but, just like the admin, they can definitely help you not get hired.
