[quote=Anonymous]For Civil Service jobs, often the hiring agency has to offer to the “least bad” candidate even if no applicant really has the needed skills. (This is an area where the current administration’s OPM head could help by changing the rules, but so far has not.) Agencies hate this. So some will only post an official job opening after they have at least one qualified candidate who is interested. In my experience, in normal times (even now, but less so now - because many civilian agencies have a flat hiring freeze), there are lots of agencies with budget and authority to hire quietly looking for qualified applicants with particular skill sets. One’s professional network and former colleagues are ways to tap into such non-advertised opportunities.[/quote]
