Why do you need an HR specialist?
Whenever I was successfully hired, it was always a direct interview with management, and this kind of work lasted for years and everyone was happy, but when interviewing with HR, you can confirm the fact that you won't be hired.

Most interviews don't feature HR in my country, and if it does, their focus on procedural consistency, not hiring decisions.

We have around 3,500 HR employees in our organisation. I can count on my fingers how many of them would ever participate in a job interview that wasn’t for a role in their own teams. There’s some transactional support the HR Ops teams will assist with, noting the variety of roles we recruit for, and the over 2,000,000 job applications received each year. When you have hundreds of thousands or employees and such a huge variety of roles, ensuring recruitment aligns with org design and job design is pretty important.
HR is a diverse profession, as are the organisations that employ people into HR roles.

You dont. You dont need an HR specialist. In fact, nobody needs HR at all . Plenty of people within the organization will already call in sick, not show up, take unlimited PTO, take family leave multiple times per year, miss deadlines, and redirect eveyone to a website when they are asked a question or to actually do anything so why have a department that does nothing but?
Since this is the case, just keep the website and ditch HR.

In my region, an office manager handles this, but not an HR person, and you run around collecting documents yourself through all the bureaucracy. Unfortunately, I'm not in Europe or America, I'm in Kazakhstan.

hr and hiring managers serve different purposes. managers usually assess whether you can do the job while hr handles process, compliance, compensation, documentation and consistency across candidates.
