[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there were two good candidates I would favor the one I had personal experience working with vs the one I only knew by reputation. I don't think that's favoritism so much as pragmatism. Why introduce more unknowns than you need to?[/quote]

But why do interviews at all then? If you are already biased towards a candidate because they have inside experience with a group, don't waste everyone's time pretending like all candidates have a fair shake based on qualifications alone. Just be honest you're going through the rigamarole to cover your legal bases to feign that you tried to interview candidates.  You had someone in mind all along though who had something no one from the outside could ever make up for though.  It's inside nepotism/favirtism.  Should have never wasted everyone's time on a worthless job application and interview process when everyone doesn't have an equal chance from the get go. [/quote]

I'm sorry you, or your preferred candidate, did not get the job.  That is always a disappointment and takes some time to process.  That being said...

The purpose of an application and selection process is to guard against favoritism.  It ensures that people that may not normally be on the hiring manager's radar get a chance to be seen.  
The purpose of an application and selection process is also to "cover your legal bases."  And that it also a good thing.
You don't understand what the words nepotism and favoritism mean.[/quote]
