Thats what we do. We give HR a spec, they handle talking to recruiters etc.

We get a stack of CVs. We break them into a pile that sound OK and we give each a telephone interview.

If the telephone interview sounds good we send them a scenario that should take a couple of hours, we have a few tailored for different specialities. If we get a good sample back from them we move onto face to face.

Face to face tends to be about an hour with a couple of senior developers and a more management type.

Seems to work well so far.
