I know they say that it can not take place in business but I see it everywhere.
Look at any large business email or contact information and you can see all the same last names. I am not talking Jones or Smith but difficult names that are obviously relatives.
I sem to get the impression that people already know who they are going to hire even before the interviews.

favouritism is part of life. it's just how the human condition is.
I think nepotism is only seen as bad since contemporary US society is more meritocratic.
Even still, you may never get rid of the need/desire to help out those closest to you.
Certainly, I love helping those close to me but when I see a government agency with the husband as the director, wife as the vice director, and adult children in all top positions I have to ask if this just isnt a little over the top. Or when you look at school discricts and directors and executive directors are all related, again you have to wonder.

In that case I would definitely be concerned with just how qualified each of those people is to do the job.
Where I work we have a ton of relatives, but the guy who sets all wages isn't related to anyone there, which helps to keep it "fair."
Yes, I do think most companies know their next employee prior to posting the ad. I am sure it gives managers a little confidence to know someone that knows the new hire. However, I worked at an organization that had 9 relatives from the same family working for the company. They had many other related employees as well and it was a gossip hell hole. The related employees ruled the roost so to speak and made it difficult for new hires that were not related. There should be a limit.
What is wrong with a little nepotism between friends and family?
