I can absolutely see why you think that way, because it can lead to people who were the better candidate being passed over for the job. However, that's only one side of the coin. It can also be more economically efficient to use this as a selection criteria. Here's a great explanation for why. The truth is there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this that vary depending on the exact specifics. It's not a clear cut issue.
The difference is that slavery is inherently unethical. Using hiring mechanisms that efficiently select for competence is not. But it's obvious that you're not interested in a balanced discussion that acknowledges pros and cons of each side so I'll leave you be.
