Much easier than advertising, plus people tend to recommend people who are not going to show them up, so it by-passes a lot of the pitfalls of 'blind' recruitment, at least someone knows the new recruitee and can vouch for them - I've seen some dreadfully fictitious CVs over the years....
That also means that the company avoids the pitfalls of employing somebody who may expose the problems of working for a company .
