Need help in finding a word (if it exists) that means to deliberately hire a less qualified or incompetent candidate for reasons of ensuring new candidates are not a challenge to higher levels. The meaning is similar to that of nepotism in which of course candidates are selected not by qualification but by whether they have family/friend links. These links would normally also guarantee loyalty and ensure the higher levels are not challenged in a similar way.
