>hiring has been shifted to HR
Well, unless you know sufficiently senior people. But I suspect that is a deeply unsatisfactory answer to many people in this forum.
My long term last, only technically-adjacent, job came through a combination of knowing execs, having gone to the same school as my ultimate manager, and knowing various other people involved. (And having a portfolio of public work.)
Personal networks only disadvantage those who have none.
I suspect many people who don't have strong networks for whatever reason resent that. To which you could probably tack on not having gone to the "right" schools or having a public portfolio.
also hard on introverts who already get punished in workplaces that promote ppl based on proximity and visiblity.
