Dear Nupur,
Why does recruitment need to be done through HR? This is a query I faced a couple of times at the beginning of my career, but now I am clear with the answer that hiring is a continuous process, and HODs have been hired for the business of the company, not for hiring. If a department head starts building a department, the probability of groupism will increase to a great extent. Being in HR, we ensure fairness in recruitment. We are taught to hire talent, but HODs will hire a person of their choice or reference. Searching for the right person for the job will require a lot of their productive time, and their work efficiency will decrease significantly.
I feel that I am able to address at least 10% of your query. I welcome other friends on board as well to share their opinions on this.

Hi Nupur,
The word Human Resource (HR) itself explains the meaning and importance of it.
The skills and competencies of an organization's human resource professionals have a measurable effect on its business performance. Companies with better HR professionals do a better job of managing change, gaining talent, and meeting financial goals. But, the human resource departments in which they work have an even greater impact on bottom-line results, according to a global human resource.
Message by Mr. B. N. Madhava Rao (Executive Director/Principal) Civil Aviation Training College On Human Resource:
Human Resource is the backbone of any organization. Properly trained and highly skilled human resource is perceived as the greatest asset of an organization. Skilled personnel contribute to efficiency, growth, increased productivity, and market reputation of an organization. This has been realized by industrial, commercial, research establishments, and even governments. Invariably, a separate Human Resources Development department exists in all these organizations to attend to the matters relating to recruitment, training, and deployment. (source: internet search)
The Best Article on HR resource in 2008:
In the real world, HR is little more than a drain on companies and slows down operations. Jack Welch, the famous CEO of GE Capital, said in Forbes, "We want more people selling and fewer people in HR. God only knows what they do!" He's right. I've spent my career in executive staffing, and the only time we get delayed is when HR gets in the middle of things. They're great for managing benefits packages and running payroll checks, but Lord help everyone when they start writing job descriptions, interviewing candidates, or maneuvering politically inside the organization to wrangle more control to make themselves seem more important. Just remember that in the 70s, they were called "Personnel." The LOWLY Personnel department. Bottom rung, unimportant paper clerks. Some bright guy in the 80s changed the name to HR, and suddenly executives started thinking they were important. Brilliant! To me, a person in the know who works with top executives, they are still CLERKS. (source: internet search)
From my point of view, the HR Department is where the assets of the Company are recruited. HR professionals are aware of the market updates on Salary Scales, Technical Skills scales, etc. They judge the right employee from a huge pool of experts, train them, and perform all tasks that help the Company meet its objectives and goals.
Really, performing an HR role is a very scrutinized part of any organization.
IF YOUR HR DEPT. IS GOOD, THEN YOUR COMPANY IS THE BEST.
That's all I can say about HR.

Hi Nupur,
Recruitment needs to be done through HR because department heads only check the knowledge of the candidate. HR, on the other hand, can evaluate a person's personality, attitude, suitability for the company environment, negotiation skills, and many other things. As Sujeet said, Heads of Departments have been hired for the business of the company, not for hiring. HR, on the other hand, has been hired to create and maintain a congenial environment in the company by hiring the best-suited individuals in terms of both knowledge and attitude.
