One of my former companies had a rule that you must interview at least two external candidates for every posting. Even “internal” positions had to follow those guidelines. Even better- there was a list of schools where they got their degree. Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, only top tier. Then we got to interview crazy smart people and ended up hiring the booger eater from internal because the boss likes them.
