  It may be that the hiring manager at the Oasis group is clueless.

  Group's are neither clueless nor clueful.  People are.  Groups do
not do things; individuals do.  A group may contain many clueful
people doing good things (or clueless people doing evil things, or
whatever), but that does not mean one can know everything about $GROUP
or any arbitrary member of it  simply by knowing something about one
or some of its members.

  This is part of what I call this "the myth of the organization". 
Organizations are a myth; they don't exist in reality.
