When employers make hiring decisions, they are not required by federal or state law to hire the most-qualified candidate. Employers may choose to hire potential employees for a variety of reasons. 

However, employers are limited in their hiring decisions in some ways. These factors include sex, age, race, or religion. These cases, however, are up to trial decisions.
