Unfortunately, you have a wrong understanding of what HR wants.
HR needs to check your testimonials and call your referees to confirm that you actually did what you said in your resume.
They also need to confirm with your ex-companies if you worked as long as what you said. That way, they can prepare your salary accordingly.
They can and will override the line manager's decision to hire you, if all those checking revealed that you are totally ********ting in your resume and hence a fraud.
