For me, when hiring someone, I want to have a track record with them. Having known them over a long period of time helps me be less guarded and more sure of their intentions.
This also applies if the person is a friend of a friend — building a “network” just means knowing people who can vouch for you as a valuable and trustworthy person.
The ability to build relationships and be stable over time is a merit.

- name-form 4y agoSo you hire people to pretend to be your friends. How do I leave this planet and your family and “friends” permanently on it? I hate everything you stand for.
- sebmellen 4y agoI’m sorry you feel that way. I have never hired someone to pretend to be my friend, nor do I know someone who has done that. As I see it, having a true network of friends and professional connections is precisely what guards me against “fake” people. If you’d like to reach out (email in profile), I’d be glad to lend some advice.
