Sometimes you do have to know the right people. Most people I know who have been called have some insider track. That may change but without help from inside those calls are far fewer and much further between.
Having contacts on the inside is part of the game. Networking and having at least 10 letters of recommendation is just as important as the TPIC. I have seen many guys that do not have a degree and complaining that they can not get a call. There are lots of factors, and part of playing the game is covering all of the bases. Those contacts are HUGE.
No internal recommendations would constitute doing something wrong.
