It can have that connotation yea, but it's really just employers looking for someone they can trust without going through reams and reams of fluffed up CVs.

If you can get someone on the inside to vouch for you, you've literally solved half the problem for them.

And yes, it is cronyism, and yes there is corruption and xenophobic overtones in such practices, but such selection biases really stem from the employer and would occur still in a formalised officiated process.

For the love of the notion of intra-species (I hope I got that right..) trust seemingly winding up orders of magnitude more complicated than rocket science!

(FWIW, your words had "HR" come to mind, which had one of my favorite HTML tags <hr> come to mind.)

(And now do I realize that constitutes "sintax".... aghhagghghhghaahggh!!!)
