The largest state agency is a nest of nepotism where relatives of higher-ups are routinely hired over more qualified applicants, a state HR insider tells FOX Undercover, a claim that’s backed up by hiring and payroll records at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services.
“There’s vast, vast amounts of nepotism, vast amount of crony hiring. And it’s all done by gaming the hiring process to make it look legit when it is not legit,” the HR insider told FOX Undercover reporter Mike Beaudet.
The whistle blower, who spoke on the condition he not be identified, said “a lot of the resumes will go right in the garbage” unless they have the right connection to steer them through the hiring process at Health and Human Services, which employees about 22,000.
