No; it's really just about proving that there's no-one who's qualified.



Nobody is qualified because the ad is written around a candidate they've already verbally hired.

It's a stupid song and dance. If people really want to be isolationist, they should crack down on it. If we really want freedom, drop the requirement. Until then it's just insulting to see a job posting that I know is for the brother of the guy who already works here, who is already promised the job.
