@dsr_ I'd argue it is more of a clique/cluster thing - very common in the bay area. A couple of people get hired and bring 'their' people in, whether from India

@dsr_ I'd argue it is more of a clique/cluster thing - very common in the bay area. A couple of people get hired and bring 'their' people in, whether from Indiana or Iran. They have the all important inside track on information and hiring criteria and help bolster the first in's career. It's a huge HR problem (and HR are typically oblivious, more interested in hiring and firing to order)
