I could see a possible role for HR. I don't think it remotely resembles what they are usually there to do.

True story: I got an ad for a consulting position for "Postgre"

The description had as a listed skill:

"PostgreSQL USE GOOGLE TO VERIFY SPELLING"

That's a bad sign there.

This reminds me of a job posting I found around 2004, which had as requirement "at least 5 years of experience with C#"

Or job postings in 2009 which required at least 3 years of experience with iOS development.
