absolutely not...well qualified or best candidate? I am saying take the absolute best. My buddy for instance I had apply for a position that I know for a fact he was the best candidate (I do the same work and am the lead not the mgr) the guy is a technical genius but was passed up for someone qualified but not the best. I personally want to surround myself with the best of the best.

In addition what do you mean by overlooked in the process? Based on color of skin? I simply cannot believe that...look at our president elect, the majority HAS spoken. I am not saying there is not some bad apples out there, s*** even in law enforcement. Look at the recent shooting in Oakland, that cop is a POS. The rioting after the fact is stupid. Where is the end I dont know...
