Getting a Job due to Intercession of an Insider

Question: “What is the ruling for getting a job by the help of “intermediary”?

Answer: “If what meant of one who ask this question is to get a job by the help of an insider, then it is basically allowed, as long as he fulfills two criteria:

There is no ‘money’ for the employee or official who worked at the company or agency (or simply said, the insider, -ed)
The applicant is qualified for the job, to work in a job that will be burdened to him, and his acceptance didn’t cause the elimination of those who are more eligible for the job.
