No, it’s just a function they didn’t have people in the building with the needed skill set, e.g., IP lawyer.

Not always true. Some offices people fled.

pretty sure that they have to get administration approval for any external posting, so the public postings are because they don't want anyone internal/don't think anyone internal will pass the purity tests.

Depends which ones. The me division posted two staff positions and definitely looking to hire externally.

There have been some external postings for specialized positions.

Saw some USAJobs postings prior to the shutdown. Given hiring pause, and the fact that these positions are allowed to be posted, does that suggest they are just posting publicly but likely already have someone internal for these roles?
