I know a married couple and this is their situation: the wife is an IT recruiter and she places her husband in high paying contracts through her company. She gets a comission for filling the position, and he gets paid for working the contract. He has no degrees or certifications, and has been basically been winging it this whole time. Certainly she is placing her husband instead of other, more qualified candidates. Is this unethical or is this smart of the couple to take advantage?

It clearly is UNETHICAL--perhaps ILLEGAL, too. And it also is SMART of the couple running this cash cow "scam" that's reaping in the big $$$$$.
Bottom line: Money talks. And if wifey's been at this scam for years, be assured her company fully knows what's going on--because they too are getting a very juicy slice of the $$$$ pie.
And everything's just peachy---until fhit hits the san!
Now if hard copy evidence (confidential e-mails, memos, reports or video...etc, etc) of wifey's mischief were to land ANONYMOUSLY in the hands of a reporter (TV, newspaper or 60 Minutes).......a good expose story might be all that's needed to bring down the house of scam and bring those guilty of wrongdoing to justice.

I find it interesting that the contracts even go to the guy, seeing as he's not qualified cetificate-wise. I say it's unethical, but clever.

That happens all the time every body trying to get an edge it effects all of us when some body scams a company it makes it harder for the rest who are just trying to do it right!
We pay for it they just move on to the next scam.

Unethical. And the company would probably be pretty unhappy if they knew what was going on.

It is very unethical and the company should have a corporate policy prohibiting that.
