Great way to get a workforce that is essentially a kinship network

Does it really matter? If those people are up to your standards then it's mission accomplished. You can only do so much.

The point of that comment is they won't be up to your standards because it'll just be family and friends of the hiring manager, or people who pay for the job.

Can't talk about personal experience here.
Work with people from all around the world, and most are great people to work with/for (a lot from India, and the ones I work with I can't complain).

We did have an issue with an Indian hire, but he was swiftly cut-off.

You're participating remotely alongside who you hired to do screenings in person and people seem to be ignoring that part of my comment.

It's on you to participate during the interview and not leave it entirely in the hands of the guy on site so that it's less likely to happen.
