/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "CHOO" (as in "choose") + "feh" (as in "fence")/
A personal connection or inside contact who opens doors for you regardless of merit. In Spain, Ecuador, and Venezuela, having "enchufe" (literally: a plug) means someone on the inside is pulling strings on your behalf. It implies favoritism and nepotism over actual qualifications, and the person who got in through enchufe probably did not even bother with the formal interview.
“He got the job through connections and didn't even go to the interview.”
“Without connections you can't get in there, it's all about who you know.”
