  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.

    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)
