Most business owners don't hire an employee 'just because you know them'.

They try to find the best candidate through the people they already know.

It's all about risk/reward. A random candidate will most likely be a higher risk than a know candidate.

Would you rather be roomates with a random person on craigslist or a friend of a friend?
