Many of these jobs were hand crafted so no one else could qualify except the person he wanted to hire.
I think this practice is rampant in the D.C. area in agencies that are controlled by the military. I don't know about other Federal agencies.

It rampant everywhere with GS and WG employees
That way federal government hires nepotism runs rampant when locals get power to hire they friends and their friends hire their relatives seen this 100 times. Sure on paper all the rules are followed except the contact the have in personal office that qualifies applicants and qualifies people with connection and no experience. The system so big 70% coils be let go and nothing would change. Seen this for 40 years. You boss hired the way he seen if happen.
