- lesuorac 4y agoI think Nepotism generally causes legal issues for companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepotism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepotism
- Hellion 4y agoWell, I had to pass an extensive interview process in which said friend was not involved. So I wouldn’t consider it nepotism.
- camjw 4y agoAlmost every tech company pays employees who refer someone who ends up getting hired. It’s not nepotism it’s just lead gen.
- efreak 4y agoNot just tech companies. _Grocery stores_ do it.
- karaterobot 4y agoGenerally, no. For companies, no. Nepotism in government is restricted at the federal level, and most states have their own rules about it too. But in the private sector it is common and not illegal by itself. Think about it: if nepotism in businesses were illegal broadly, it would end the concept of family run businesses, and make small farms even harder to sustain. This comment is in reference to the U.S., where Triplebyte normally operates.
- m463 4y agohmm... I thought nepotism generally referred to family members, but the definition includes friends. I always thought getting jobs through friends was a decent vetted matchmaking process. That said, I've never had a lot of direct power to get friends hired, so I never felt it was nepotism. And the friends were usually from previous jobs.
