用你个人的影响力来帮人找工作是不可接受的，因为这样做会损害创意择优。这对找工作的人不好，因为这表明这份工作不是靠他们努力得来的；这对招聘者也不好，因为这损害了他们的权威；这对你也不好，因为它表明你会因朋友而牺牲择优标准。这是种隐性腐败，绝对不可容忍。在桥水，在这方面你最多能做的就是，针对你熟知的人提供一些参考信息，以示你的支持。尽管桥水是我的公司，我从没有背离过这项政策。

It is unacceptable to use your personal inﬂuence to help someone get a job because doing so undermines the meritocracy. It’s not good for the job seeker, because it conveys they did not really earn it; it is not good for the person doing the hiring, because it undermines their authority; and it is not good for you because it demonstrates you will compromise merit for friends. It is an insidious form of corruption and it must not be tolerated. The most you can do at Bridgewater in this respect is to provide a reference for someone you know well enough to endorse. Even though Bridgewater is my company, I have never deviated from this policy.
