Nepotism is when you hire someone unqualified because you know them.

Networking is when you hire someone who is qualified because you know them.

Who would you rather hire, a qualified person you've met at least once outside of the hiring process and like, or a qualified person who is a complete unknown outside of their likely embellished resume?
