Can they do that? Just hire through a small network of people in the know? Sounds like a recipe for cronyism.
I'm not sure about Italy but in the UK companies legally have to advertise a job publicly and, if they receive an application that meets the criteria, I think they have to at least consider it, if not conduct an interview. That's not to say there is no nepotism, but there are measures to control it.
- vidarh 6y agoThere is no legal requirement in the UK to advertise a job publicly in general, and no legal hindrance to explicit nepotism for that matter. However there is a requirement not to discriminate on the basis of certain characteristics, and the easiest way of protecting against such claims is to advertise publicly. But a huge number of jobs in the UK are never publicly advertised anyway.
