But when hiring for a job, you don't only have two choices you have an entire pool of candidates which you can vett.

This is like your recruiter telling you that they narrowed down all the candidates for you, you have no say in that process and you can pick between the two worst candidates.

Oh well that's easy:

They had connections.

Networking is a bitch.
