“legal requirement to hire the insider already selected for the job. “
I have neighbor that was a temp telco tech for DHS with 20 plus years of experience from CO tech, T&R, and provisioning OC 48’s. While at DHS applied for a full time position for telecom tech and got turned down.One day this kid that was a “logistics stoog”(moved desks and furniture cross country)came in the switch room and asked him and the boss to explain how some of the stuff worked.He asked why,he said he got the telecom position.He told him figure it out yourself. Neighbor told me this kid never touched a Butt Set in his life couldn’t tell you what color pair one was,ZERO knowledge and just got a top telecom position.
I felt for the neighbor being a retired att tech myself
So you are 100% correct.And yes they are required to post publicly be fore filling
That is unfortunate.
At least, in my experience, people are hired to do the same exact job they were already doing as a contractor. So there is no possibility that they are not qualified for the job, since we already know their qualifications.
