Resume review at the two best companies I've worked for were as follows:

1) The company was obscure, so by virtue of knowing about them you had an "in"

2) There were too many applicants so HR screened resumes and looked for pedigree primarily

After candidates pass to engineering for technical interviews I read resumes to see what questions are fair to ask; otherwise I don't care unless I see something fairly interesting.
