Good old referral based hiring should be more common now.

I think it’s cronyism more but it could be nepotism too.

My understanding is that is included in nepotism nowadays (used to be family only, now more general)

As someone doing the hiring, referral hires fucking suck. I want the best candidate, not the most connected candidate, and I don’t want to have to deal with the bullshit company politics when the referral hire doesn’t work out.

My company actually pushes referrals and even offers a bonus for a successful hire to whoever recommended them, but the candidate still has to pass a bunch of interview hurdles, so it’s rare that it all works out anyway.
I think referrals can work out, if your interview process is grueling to begin with.
