The way that the company I'm currently with works is this:

Submit your resume to HR, a recruiter takes in the resume and processes your information. From there it is sent to the Supervisor of the position you're applying to, who looks over the resume and decides if you should be interviewed. You then have the chance of going through a series of interviews involving HR, the Supervisor, and even higher up employees. It's a bit bloated of a system, but still much better than having HR take care of everything.
