Where do you get that from? I have hired about 20 positions in the last 4 years, all professional, and not ONE was related or referred. Only one of them did I even have a connection - he worked at one of my suppliers and I knew the GM over there so I called for his opinion (he said hire him). Shows the importance of your reputation. However, The Villages is a corporation now, they don't operate on Related or referred and especially not "under the table". My guess is they get a lot of applications and maybe he isn't the best fit. The other thing is the position may be on hold. They often keep stuff posted and they are on hold. Never like that, but HR does it.
Seriously....
