How many jobs have you seen get filled due to nepotism where the candidate was a "Friend of somebody" already employed or a "Relative of somebody" already employed? Despite you having better candidates to select from that wouldn't have conflict of interests and have no pre-existing relations to anybody already employed in the company?

I wouldnt say they get employed but referrals do tend to get higher rates of being interviewed. We tend to try and make sure the panel is one that is unbiased and that the person doing the referral isnt a part of the process in any way. Hell the other day we had an executive referral but none of the interviewers knew that so it would be unbiased and the person got the job. Thats not to say that nepotism doesnt happen at some level but were a larger company with some checks and balances in place.
