I ask because I spoke to managers a few times and usually it was okay. Sometimes, they say they have to get HR approval first before making an offer.

and this is usually where the trouble begins. HR asks for a lot of stuff not related to the job. If I show them a bad testimonial or I have long gaps unemployed etc (which the manager does not mind as I can do the job well)...can they override the line manager's decision to hire me?
Most HR are very weak admin ladies with little authority. What usually happens is the line managers do not want the candidate but don't want to be the one to tell the bad news, so they usually act like everything ok and claim need HR to approve. Behind the scenes they instruct the HR lady to reject.
