The vast majority of personnel managers in the U.S have at one time or another been forced by cronyism, favouritism or sexism to hire someone they did not want, according to a poll.

The research by website HR.BLR.com found cronyism was the common reason why people were forced to hire someone, followed by nepotism and sexism.

When asked "has top management ever forced you to hire someone who otherwise wouldn't have gotten the job?" a total of 77 per cent of 610 visitors to site said "yes", against 23 per cent who said "no".

More than 500 HR managers were then asked for reasons why this happened, with the answers breaking down as cronyism (34 per cent), nepotism (21 per cent), race, ethnicity or gender (15 per cent) or "because the boss liked her for more than her job skills" (11 per cent).
